Prosecutors have questioned two Turkish business leaders after they delivered a scathing criticism of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government. The leaders, known for their influential roles in the business community, publicly expressed concerns over the government's economic policies and their impact on the nation’s stability.
Their remarks, made during a recent conference, highlighted issues such as inflation, unemployment, and the overall economic climate in Turkey. This open criticism has sparked significant debate within the country, as it underscores the growing tension between the business sector and the government.
In response to their statements, authorities initiated an investigation, raising questions about freedom of speech and the limits of public discourse in Turkey. Observers note that such actions may deter other business figures from voicing their opinions, fearing repercussions. The situation reflects broader concerns regarding the state of democracy and civil liberties in the country, as the government continues to face mounting challenges from various sectors of society.
