  1. Italian MEP Dario Nardella was also at the CHP rally today to show support which was very much welcomed

  2. Erdogan wants EU membership. The EU can apply pressure.

    Excellent strategic move by the delegation.

  4. It’s too late for the EU delegation and for THE EU to make a difference. Who cares about the EU delegation tbh? Imamoglu is in jail for no reason. The EU leaders should visit him, and journalists should cover his story worldwide. The EU delegation is meaningless to me, and their actions are too late. They should have reacted immediately when he was imprisoned.

    Not taking action regarding Turkey is fatal for the EU. imbecile erdogan is turning Turkey into a super regime country, and the EU will have to deal with the consequences later. Our education system has been destroyed for years, with no investment in education. Instead, he keeps building mosques non-stop and showing non stop stupid ottoman TV series on TV. People are starting to hate Atatürk and doubt his reforms.

    erdogan doesn’t care about EU membership. If he did, he could have made progress in 23 years. Some people say ” Oh the EU is scared of him because he controls the refugees.” However, the EU has a secret advantage: NATO. erdogan is terrified of being excluded from NATO and losing its protection. Imagine Turkey without any defense! That’s why the Turkish Foreign Minister said, “We want to be in any EU organization if NATO collapses!” Turkey would be vulnerable.

    Our moron president knows that being an ally with the US is like playing with fire . That’s why he wants to be part of the EU but not fully integrated, so he can continue turning the country into an Islamic fundamentalist state. In my opinion, the EU has been too passive over the last 2-3 years.

  5. Thats not enough. Issue travel warning to the Turkiye. Only money will cause pain on Erdogan.

  6. This visit highlights the EU’s concern over political freedoms and judicial independence in Turkey.

  7. this will not only not change anything, it’s a great fodder for erdo to blame the opposition for “working with foreign powers”.

    eu propping up erdoğan right in front of our eyes again.

    only credible threat against this would be to stop trade, and eu is too much of a chickenshit to do that.
