Estambul

Bursa is the fourth-largest city in Turkey, with a population of approximately 3.2 million. It is governed by the Metropolitan Municipality of Bursa, currently led by Mayor Mustafa Bozbey from the Republican People's Party (CHP), the main opposition party in Turkey. Bursa is newsworthy due to the recent arrest of Mayor Bozbey, along with members of his family, businesspeople, and municipal employees. This arrest is part of a series of judicial operations targeting municipalities controlled by the opposition CHP. The events highlight the ongoing political tensions and power struggles between the ruling party and the opposition in Turkey, raising concerns about the independence of the judiciary and the state of local governance.
