I’ve received the European Commission’s response to my question regarding the political situation in Turkey and the relationship with a country where democratic freedoms are seriously undermined — starting with the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor and presidential candidate, Imamoglu.

Honestly, I think you are the only European commissioner who truly cares about Turkish democracy and Ekrem İmamoğlu, even your PM Meloni and Ursula von der Leyen literally said nothing about them at all. Thank you for this!

Thank you very much for your support. There is torture in prison. One of mayor Mehmet Murat Calik is cancer and he needs to be free. Unfortunately, he is still in prison. Please be our voice, Mr. Nardella…

We expect the first delivery of #mpox vaccines to arrive in #DRC tomorrow, donated by the European Commission’s Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority. I thank the European Union for its donation, and we call on countries with stockpiles of vaccines to work with us and our partners to get those vaccines to where they are needed now.

The situation in Turkey is very serious. Europe must take action. That’s why, together with the Italian delegation and colleagues from Spain and France, we have sent a letter to the Turkish ambassador to the EU to protest the arrest of Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu (International) … and to demand respect for democracy and fundamental freedoms in Turkey. We will not stop and will always stand by the Turkish people, who deserve dignity and support.

The European Parliament’s report on Turkey has been approved. This is a bold and politically significant act, as it firmly and transparently denounces the ongoing violations of human rights, fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law in the country by those in power.

Bernie Sanders says of Mamdani: "I find it hard to understand how the major Democratic leaders in New York state are not supporting the Democratic candidate." "One might think that if a candidate starting at 2% in the polls gets 50,000 volunteers, creates enormous excitement, gets young people involved in the political process, gets nontraditional voters to vote, Democratic leaders would be jumping up and down."
