"Overhearing rejection of our pluralistic democracy": Özdemir (Greens) settles accounts with motorcades for Erdogan
Meanwhile, the voting behavior and the subsequent celebrations of Erdogan supporters were criticized by Cem Özdemir (Greens). The Baden-Württemberg Green politician and Federal Minister of Agriculture spoke of local supporters of Erdogan, who would not have to answer for the consequences of the election – in contrast to the people in Turkey, who would continue to be confronted with "poverty and lack of freedom".
But Özdemir also knew how to comment on the motorcades as a result of Erdogan's election victory. In this context, the Green politician spoke of "an unmistakable rejection of our pluralistic democracy and testimony to our failure among them. It is no longer possible to overlook it," says Özdemir.
Baden-Württemberg's Finance Minister Danyal Bayaz (Greens) expressed a similar view. "Motorcades on German streets celebrating Erdogan's election victory. How bitter this must feel for the 50 percent of people in Turkey who long for a return to democracy, the rule of law and freedom of expression – and who are denied exactly that by voters from Germany," the politician said on Twitter.
