30-March-2024: ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Bruised and fractured by Tayyip Erdogan's victory in the 2023 general elections, Turkey's opposition hopes to land a blow in Sunday's local polls, with the future of its biggest hope, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, tied to the outcome. The nationwide municipal votes on March 31 could reinforce President Erdogan's control after two decades running Turkey, or signal change in a deeply divided political landscape. Imamoglu, still on the campaign trail after his surprise victory in 2019, represents the center-left CHP, the main opposition to President Erdogan's AK party. Istanbul's first-time record of building 65 km of Metro lines in just 5 years is highlighted as a milestone by Imamoglu. He emphasizes that a win for him in the municipal election would set the whole country on a new course. The stakes extend beyond municipal elections; it's about history. Imamoglu believes that winning would revitalize democracy and restore freedom. To secure victory, Imamoglu must fend off votes for Murat Kurum, Erdogan's pick to represent the AK party. Reclaiming Istanbul, where Erdogan began his political career, is a top priority for him. Currently ahead in the polls, analysts suggest that a victory in Istanbul would position Imamoglu as a frontrunner for the 2028 presidential elections. ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ #Turkey #Istanbul #elections

27-March-2024[4:00PM] ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท On Tuesday, amidst the lush expanse of the Amazon, the leaders of France and Brazil, clad in shirt sleeves, came together in a display of camaraderie. They honored indigenous communities, with Emmanuel Macron bestowing the Legion of Honor upon Kayapo Chief Rioni M, and paying homage to Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva for his environmental stewardship. Macron expressed his satisfaction with the shared commitment to safeguarding the Amazon and supporting indigenous peoples. Together, they unveiled a groundbreaking plan, backed by 1 billion EUR, aimed at establishing a carbon market to incentivize investments in natural carbon sinks like rainforests. This collaboration marks a significant shift in Franco-Brazilian relations, which have seen improvement under President Lula's tenure, fostering mutual investment and cooperation, including in defense projects. However, beneath this facade of partnership lie lingering disputes, notably regarding the EU-South American trade agreement, with Macron advocating for stricter regulations to protect French farmers. Amidst these differences, Macron's forthcoming visit to Brasรญlia is anticipated to address not only trade concerns but also geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding the conflict in Ukraine. While Macron advocates for bolstering Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression, Lula has taken a more nuanced stance, advocating for dialogue and a negotiated settlement. Their divergent views underscore the complexity of navigating international relations in a rapidly changing world. France #Brazil #Amazon ๐Ÿค๐ŸŒ

Allegations from US authorities claim that he purchased two luxury apartments in New York City with the proceeds of a corrupt scheme ๐Ÿ’ฐ. Prosecutors are seeking to seize the prime real estate in midtown Manhattan, valued at $14 million. These allegations stem from accusations that Batbold's family-controlled firm secured a major mining contract and subsequently funneled millions of dollars through illegitimate shell companies. Despite denying these accusations, the 60-year-old politician still holds a seat in parliament. His lawyer, Orin Snyder, stated that Batbold looks forward to defending himself in court.
