Foreign Ministry files complaint with Ankara for expelling a Spanish delegation a day after the OSCE drew attention to the media bias favorable to Erdogan. European Commission has asked Turkey to solve the deficiencies detected by international observers in the presidential elections last Sunday.

The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has protested through a "note verbale" to the Turkish authorities for the retention and expulsion "without justification or explanation" of 10 Spaniards, who had come to that country to follow the presidential and legislative elections. The OSCE accuses Turkey of a bias towards Erdogan in media coverage.
