In Turkey, the Parliament resulting from the legislative elections of 14 May began its work a week ago. On the benches of the hemicycle, the new deputies are not 600 as expected, but 599: Can Atalay, an elected member of the opposition.
His lawyers say he should have been released as soon as he was elected under parliamentary immunity, but the Turkish government does not hear it that way. Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunç explained that the case depended on exchanges between the Court of Cassation and the Presidency of Parliament.
