On Monday evening you can watch a new student movement on the Galata Bridge in Istanbul. You can see how the students test and reject protest forms. How you decide whether you ignore police instructions and how much risk you should take. It is 8 p.m. At the same time, the masses gather again in front of the town hall of Istanbul. But the students on the Galata Bridge don’t want to go to the town hall. They want to occupy the bridge and paralyze traffic. They want as many Istanbulers to notice that these are not ordinary times when life simply continues. Thousands of students from all universities are there. You no longer only want to call the Republican People’s Party (CHP) of the imprisoned and suspended mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. They speak of the fight against the dictatorship, of the fall of the president. “I don’t know anyone else,” says a student of engineering. He was born in 2004. In 2003, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was elected Prime Minister. Belief in the power of Straßeum 5:00 p.m. they met in the central district of Beşiktaş and brought the after -work traffic to a complete standstill for hours. Her motto: “The youth don’t fit into the Saraçhan.” What is meant is the place in front of the town hall where the CHP has been holding its rallies from tens of thousands of people since Wednesday. “We don’t trust a bourgeois politician,” says a student with a fine dust mask. “We want to create our own student movement. We believe in the power of the street.” The first milestone is a boycott of all educational institutions. The student is one of those who have decided to fill the gala bridge. First they sit, then they dance. “Attention, be careful, here the police speak,” it sounds over the bridge. “Please continue to Saraçhane. We want to open the bridge to traffic.” The student is frustrated by his fellow students. “We founded committees, but we are not able to communicate effectively. The police are in our group chats.” In the end, the bridge is cleared. First the police send brokers. Then she threatens to encirclement. The hard core is done with raw violence, with pepper spray and batons from the square. A new dynamic dealing with the police is a key question. “Police officers, sells Simit, lives honorably”, the students call. For them, the security forces are henchmen of an authoritarian regime. At the same time, CHP boss Özgür Özel speaks of the town hall of “our brothers by the police who are given illegal instructions”. He distances himself from “unjustified attacks against our police”, but not from police violence. President Erdoğan threatened him in a speech in the evening: “The sole responsibility for the injured police officers.. The broken shop windows. Erdoğan plays on the well -known keyboard of the division of society. He claims that the demonstrators converted mosques in drinking halls and desecrated old graves. How the students also speaks of Özel on Monday evening that the protests should now change their shape. He knows that he has to spark a new dynamic so that the demonstrations do not rub out of exhaustion. Among other things, he calls for a buyer boycott against government companies: a coffee house chain, a petrol station group, a travel book platform, a book trade company. The pressure on Erdoğan in its own warehouse should be increased. It is important, says Özel, not to take the companies of the companies into co -liability. “The cameraman of the government -friendly broadcaster only wants to earn his bread.” The party sets up a website on which the companies are listed. One should not fall on other lists that are distributed by government -related entrepreneurs to eliminate their competitors, warns Özel. With the buyer strike, the CHP also wants to build pressure on the television channels close to the government. He is specifically directed against their sister company. This seems to have a certain effect on Tuesday. Suddenly these broadcasters also report on Özels. There is a lot of sympathy for the students in the secular Turkish middle class, which has suffered significant status and wealth. They applaud them and honk in the traffic jam. Professors encourage their students to take to the streets. “You canceled our courses and postponed our final exams,” reports a engineering student. “You told us that we would have to protect the nation now.” The attitude of the wider society beyond the classic CHP clientele will depend on whether Erdoğan gets on the defensive and the protests cannot just sit out. From the government -related entrepreneurs who fear losses. From politicians of the government party who may go too far. Of the children of the police officers and wives of the judges. Neither the judiciary nor the parliament are nor able to limit the power of the president because he has occupied all institutions with loyalists in recent years. Rissedie has already achieved a lot on the street, says Özel. They would have been frightened by a state -appointed forced administrator to replace the central government from being replaced by a state -appointed forced administrator. “You prevented that,” calls Özel of the crowd. For the time being, Istanbul remains in the hands of the CHP. She wants to appoint a representative for the suspended İmamoğlu on Wednesday. What does that mean can be read on every street corner. The buses, for example, in which the hundreds of the police are distributed from distant parts of the country in the city, are rented by tourism companies because the Ministry of the Interior has no access to the urban buses. During the hardly organized students, Özel expresses concrete demands: The release IMAMOğlus during his legal process and the process on the process. On Tuesday he visits İmamoğlu in the Silivri prison. The suspended mayor is there in a prominent society. In Silivri, the political prisoners of the Gezi protests from 2013 sit, such as the cultural patron Osman Kavala and the lawyer Can Atalay.özel calls for unity. Nationalists, conservative, social democrats, Alevis, Sunnis, Kurds should be together. As a one -off element, he conjures up the social order of secularism, which was determined a hundred years ago, and cracks on the street are cracked. Some participants show the ultra-nationalist wolf greeting and hold up posters on which the PKK boss Abdullah Öcalan is referred to as a “bastard”. Many Kurds should find it difficult to run under such posters. The government is trying to deepen the cracks. The Kurdish Deme-Party is tied to the hands because it does not want to endanger the parallel negotiating process about the disarmament of the PKK. Sales from F-35 fighter aircraft president Erdoğan is confident that the detention of his strongest political opponent does not create a headwind. “The heated debates of the past few weeks have shown that European security will be impossible without Turkey,” says the President on Monday evening. He thinks the relationships with the United States in a “new momentum”. Özel’s deputy İlhan Uzgel says: “You consider the international environment to be favorable for the opposition of the opposition.” Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is to be welcomed by his counterpart Marco Rubio in Washington on Tuesday. In Ankara it is said that the meeting is to prepare for a possible Erdoğan visit. Donald Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden never received Erdoğan in the White House. According to Turkish information, the sale of F-35 fighter planes that America Erdoğan has previously refused to buy the S-400 rocket defense system from Russia in 2019 was also on the agenda. Turkey. ” And the diplomatic representation of the United States in Ankara has only one message for the Turkish population on platform X these days: “If you try to illegally (in the USA), you will be thrown out and never come back.
