The day began with a significant focus on legal actions against the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP). Reports detailed a widespread operation in Izmir, leading to arrest warrants for 157 individuals, including former Izmir Metropolitan Mayor Tunç Soyer. This development quickly became a prominent topic across various media outlets, drawing reactions from other political parties. As the day progressed, media attention increasingly shifted to the controversy surrounding a provocative caricature, which continued from the previous day. President Erdoğan and other high-ranking officials condemned it as a "vile provocation," vowing legal action and leading to further arrests and debates over media freedom. Lawyers argued that the measures against the magazine constituted torture. In the evening, reports also emerged regarding a substantial increase in natural gas prices, as announced by the energy regulatory authority.
