A Turkish court overturned the election of opposition leader Ozgur Ozel, reinstating the previous leader and sparking accusations that the judiciary is being used by President Erdogan's government to weaken political rivals. The opposition called the move an 'attempted coup' and warned it undermines democracy, while markets reacted sharply with stocks and bonds falling. The article frames the court's action as part of a broader pattern of legal actions targeting the main opposition party.
