Turkey referendum, 2017

[Middle-aged Europe]

Big issue in Germany right now too, particularly with regards to Turkish government officials trying to campagin for the constitutional "reform" here and the issue if and how such activitiy should be curtailed.

A couple of German towns banned Turkish ministers from holding rallies here recently, with the Turkish government unsurprisingly going full Trump... accusing Merkel of orchestrating the local bans and comparing her government with the Nazis. German-Turkish diplomatic relations probably at its lowest point in years (decades?).

Naturally, pissing off AKP officials is always a good thing, so thumbs up from me.

The big one is still coming of course. It's possible that the Turkish Führer himself will try to come to Germany and hold a rally here in the next weeks. Going to be fun.

Opinion polling is showing a pretty tight race btw, with support for the "reform" suffering a drop recently:

But maybe they'll just rig the results in Erdogan's favour in the end.

Lol That the "no campaign" section is completely blank.

Perhaps work in progress, since the sections "Yes campaign" and "No campaign" came into existence last Friday.

Actually, it translates as "One flag, one fatherland, one nation (or people), one state".
