Turquie : avant une audience cruciale pour le CHP, des dizaines de milliers de personnes défilent à Ankara
Des dizaines de milliers de personnes ont défilé dimanche à Ankara, à la veille d'une audience cruciale devant la justice pour le CHP, le principal parti d'opposition au président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan, dont la direction pourrait être chamboulée en raison d'une accusation de fraudes.

Condamnation de Marine Le Pen : le RN sur une ligne de crête avec le rassemblement prévu dimanche
Le Rassemblement national a appelé à un "grand rassemblement de soutien" à Marine Le Pen dimanche, après sa condamnation en première instance à cinq ans d'inéligibilité avec application immédiate. Objectif : donner corps à la colère des militants mais éviter de paraître "séditieux".

Manifestations en Turquie : vers la chute d’Erdogan ou le début d’une dictature ?
Manifestations en Turquie : vers la chute d’Erdogan ou le début d’une dictature ?
Cela faisait 12 ans que la Turquie n’avait pas connu pareil mouvement de contestation dirigé contre le tout-puissant Recep Tayyip Erdogan, au pouvoir depuis 2003. Le président fait face à la colère d’une partie de sa population, et notamment la jeunesse, après l’incarcération de son principal adversaire, le maire d’Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu, arrêté après avoir annoncé sa candidature à l’élection présidentielle de 2028 et largement investi depuis par quelque 15 millions d’électeurs. Assiste-t-on au crépuscule du régime d’Erdogan, ou bien à l’achèvement du glissement d'un pouvoir autoritaire vers la dictature ?

This is 20C above normal and also above the JULY average. Insane.
