Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) staged a massive rally in Ankara on March 19, protesting the detention of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, President Tayyip Erdogan’s strongest political rival. Crowds gathered outside the CHP headquarters, chanting anti-government slogans such as "Dictator Erdogan" and "Government, resign." CHP spokesperson Deniz Yucel accused the government of resorting to tyranny, stating that the real target was not just their party but the Turkish people. Meanwhile, CHP parliamentarians disrupted the general assembly in protest, vowing to continue daily demonstrations. Imamoglu was detained on charges of corruption and aiding a terrorist group, a move the opposition condemned as "a coup against our next president."
