Germany’s refusal to allow more polling booths creates problems for Turkish diaspora voters to exercise their democratic right to vote in Türkiye’s presidential and parliamentary elections
Over 1.4 million Turkish voters living in Germany – the largest bloc of diaspora voters – are expected to cast their votes in 26 representative offices between April 27 and May 9. Voting in Türkiye will be held on May 14.
“Requests to open polling stations in Limburg and Fulda in order to shorten the journey and relieve Frankfurt were rejected,” the report added. The report quoted Consul General Erdem Tuncer as saying that he expected an even higher turnout than in 2017 when around 48 percent of voters exercised their right to vote.

Germany, Italy clamp down on Italian mob with raids, arrestsPolice across Europe have arrested dozens of people, raided homes and seized 25 million euros in assets in a joint effort to crack down on Italy’s ’ndrangheta organized crime syndicate. In Italy, Carabinieri police backed by police helicopters served arrest warrants on 108 people for suspected trafficking of drugs and weapons; money laundering; and other crimes. The operation aimed to dismantle a network that reportedly moves tons of cocaine to Europe and Australia each year. Authorities say the investigation uncovered how the n’drangheta, Colombian drug producers and paramilitary groups used ports in South America to ship Colombian drugs to Europe. Italian officials say drug proceeds were laundered through restaurants, ice cream shops and car washes.
