After the local elections in Turkey: This is what the winners and losers say. In Germany, politicians from the SPD and Greens are relieved.
The opposition leader CHP relied on cohesion & won. The pro-Kurdish DEM party still won 5.7 percent of the nationwide votes. However, thousands of soldiers were brought to Kurdish cities, especially in the southeast of the country, to cast their votes. There were repeated small riots in front of the polling stations on election day. In Uludere near Sirna, the people marched to the district election committee to protest against the electoral fraud.
