Erdogan files legal complaint against opposition leader over alleged insult
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has initiated legal action against Ozgur Ozel, the head of the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), accusing him of insulting the presidency. Erdogan's attorney, Huseyin Aydin, confirmed that a formal complaint was submitted to the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The move follows comments made by Ozel during a CHP gathering on Sunday, where he claimed that Turkey is currently under the control of a "junta" that fears democratic elections, political opposition, and the will of the people.
Ozel further accused Erdogan of leading a regime that suppresses popular figures and potential challengers. He criticized the recent arrest of Istanbul’s CHP Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a prominent opposition figure widely seen as Erdogan’s main political rival.
