June
The CHP leadership crisis dominated June 1, with editors tracking the fallout from the 'absolute nullity' decision. Morning headlines focused on the cabinet meeting and a major operation against İzmir's Buca Municipality, where 60 were detained. By afternoon, attention shifted to President Erdoğan distancing the government from the opposition dispute, while 111 CHP deputies called for an extraordinary congress on July 12. The day's climax came when the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched a financial investigation into CHP congress delegates, requesting bank and social security records—a move that overshadowed other stories, including US-Iran tit-for-tat strikes and a fatal bus fire in Denizli.
The CHP leadership crisis continued to dominate, with editors tracking Kılıçdaroğlu's announcement of his new MYK, including Rıfat Turuntay Nalbantoğlu as General Secretary and Müslim Sarı as spokesperson. This move, covered extensively by Bianet, Aydınlık, and Gerçek Gündem, overshadowed other political developments like Erdoğan's calls with Sudan's Burhan and Armenia's Pashinyan. Meanwhile, the corruption trial against İBB saw its 43rd hearing adjourned, and a cyber operation across 27 provinces led to 89 detentions. The day also saw a crane collapse in Arnavutköy, a landslide evacuation in Giresun, and a femicide in Gümüşhane, but the editorial focus remained on the opposition's internal restructuring.
