Политика · New party challenges Erdogan · АрхивOusted Turkish Opposition Leader Özel Launches New Party, Threatening Erdogan's Grip on PowerТекст 7 сентября 2026 г. в 21:22 UTCСмотретьРасшифровка0:00Turkey's political landscape shifted0:02dramatically today as the ousted leader0:04of the main opposition party formally0:05resigned from the CHP and announced he0:08is forming a new party, a move that0:09could reshape the country's power0:11dynamics. Ozgur Ozel, removed from the0:13CHP leadership by an Ankara court in0:15May, resigned his party membership on0:17July 21st and declared a new political0:20movement. Roughly 80 of CHP's 135 MPs0:23are expected to join him, making his new0:26block the largest opposition force in0:28parliament. The split originates in0:30Ankara where a court ousted Ozel from0:32the CHP leadership on May 21st. Kemal0:35Kilicdaroglu has since been reinstated0:37as party chair by court order, but the0:39real power shift is in parliament. 800:41MPs defecting to Ozel's new party0:43creates a fractured opposition0:45landscape. Next, parliamentary and0:47presidential elections must be held by0:49May 2028 and many analysts say the0:52division plays into President Erdogan's0:54hands in the short term. Ozel's new0:55formation comes amid a sweeping0:57government crackdown on opposition0:59figures. Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu1:02has been jailed since March 2025 on1:04corruption charges that opposition1:06parties say are politically motivated.1:08More than 20 opposition mayors are1:10currently in prison and over 30 have1:12been suspended since the 2024 local1:14elections. Three independent polls now1:16show Ozel's new party leading Erdogan's1:18AKP by 8 to 9 points. That is double the1:21margin the CHP held before the split,1:23but the opposition is now divided1:25between two major blocks, Ozel's new1:26party and Kilicdaroglu's CHP, which1:29could dilute the anti-Erdogan vote when1:31elections arrive. Behind the political1:32drama, ordinary Turks are facing a1:34severe cost of living crisis. Food1:37inflation is running at over 30% while1:39that is down from peaks above 60% in1:412023, prices remain painfully high for1:44millions of households. The economy is1:45expected to be the defining issue in the1:47next election. Ozel must now register1:49his party, finalize his parliamentary1:51group, and build a national organization1:53before the 2028 election cycle. With the1:56opposition vote fractured, the1:58short-term advantage appears to sit with1:59President Erdoğan, but with polls2:01showing the new party ahead and with2:03inflation eating into household budgets,2:05the next 3 years remain deeply2:06unpredictable for Turkish politics.Читать статьюХронология историиHeyDexКороткое видео ↗
