The executive committee of “Eurocities” in which 12 European mayors participate is in favor of Ekrem Imamoglu
“We would like to share our strong support for Ekrem Imamoglou mayor of Istanbul. The trial was a politically motivated attack on a member of the opposition,” European mayors say after a Turkish court sentenced the mayor of Istanbul to prison and imposed a political ban.
The mayors of Florence, Warsaw, Barcelona, Leipzig, Ghent, Braga, Tallinn, Nantes, Oslo, Rotterdam, Stockholm and Vienna, underline that “democracy and the rule of law are under attack in many places, it is more critical than ever to defend independent and impartial institutions as well as freedom of speech.
The decision taken at Turkish courts to prosecute a political opponent of the current president, represents a sham of democracy and risks setting Turkey years behind in terms of good governance.”
