NEWS
★ Since no candidate received more than 50% of the votes in the May 14 presidential election, Turkish voters will go to the polls again tomorrow.
The political rhetoric from both sides was intense. Here is a review of the Turkish and world press on the elections:
In a new fresh row between Erdoğan and his rival Kılıçdaroğlu, the opposition candidate deemed the President "protector of terrorists" and challenged him to debate "on your own channel," the Turkish daily Duvar reported.
Duvar added that let alone opposition politicians, Erdoğan has not faced any opposition journalists during a live broadcast for years.

★ The pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party and its sidekick Green Left Party have announced that they will continue to support Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in the second round of the presidential race. They added that they "will change the one-man regime."
The statement came a day after Kılıçdaroğlu and Ümit Özdağ, the far-right and anti-immigrant Victory Party leader, signed a controversial protocol, leading to concerns that the People's Democratic Party might boycott the elections.
Ümit Özdağ declared support for the main opposition bloc Nation Alliance's presidential candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in the second round of the presidential election.
The Victory Party was part of the ATA alliance. The alliance supported Sinan Oğan, who got only 5 % of the votes. After his defeat, unlike Ümit Özdağ, he said that he is supporting Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
After Victory and pro-Kurdish People's Democratic parties declared support for Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in the second round of presidential elections against incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Justice and Development Party spokesperson Ömer Çelik argued the two parties "cannot come together" as they are "at opposite ends."

★ Reporters Without Borders said that it denounced the Turkish media's biased coverage of the parliamentary and first-round presidential elections held on May 14 and the presidential run-off between incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and opposition challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to be held on May 28.
It added:
Erdoğan, Turkey's ruler for the past 20 years, has done everything within his power to win these elections, including denying his fellow citizens the right to reliable, pluralistic news reporting.
Over the years, all-out harassment and jailing of independent journalists on a massive scale, increased control over the state media, the purchase of Turkey's biggest privately-owned media group by a pro-government billionaire, and a system of subsidies for media outlets that support the president have given him control over 85% of the national media.

★ And the polls. Yes, the polls could not predict well the results of the first round of the presidential election.
According to Bianet, the latest polls for the second round of the presidential election are out.
AREA predicts that opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will win by a slim margin. The remaining two, KONDA and ASAL, predict incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will win.

★ Slate wrote last week Elon Musk for caving into Mr. Erdoğan's administration.
In an article, Nitish Pahwa wrote that Musk did not just do Turkey's bidding. He then added that censoring for strongmen is now a pattern at Twitter.
On Friday night, the Twitter Global Government Affairs account tweeted a thread explaining that "in response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today." The account further declared that Twitter had "informed the account holders" affected and clarified that the restricted content "will remain available in the rest of the world."

★ According to the daily Birgün, the Turkish central bank's net foreign exchange reserves fell below zero for the first time in 21 years to -0.2 billion liras. The government completely depleted them to keep the exchange rate in check before the elections.
Following an unorthodox monetary policy, President Mr. Erdoğan's administration has been keeping the policy interest rate low for months. Economists say during high inflationary times, interest rates have to increase.
This week the Turkish central bank's monetary policy Board met and decided to keep the interest rate at 8.5%. The current inflation rate calculated by a group of independent economists for the past 12 months was 105%.

★ According to the Global Slavery Index, Turkey ranks among the top five countries with the highest incidence of modern slavery. First is North Korea, followed by Eritrea, Mauritania, and Saudi Arabia.
The lowest incidence is in Ireland, Japan, and Finland.
According to the Walk Free organization that compiles the index, modern slavery includes forced labor, forced or servile marriage, debt bondage, commercial sexual exploitation by force, human trafficking, slavery-like practices, and the sale and exploitation of children.

★ Three of the largest grocery chains in Turkey have made excessively high profits over the past five years, according to a recent report by Citibank, daily Bianet reported.
The analysis report titled "Turkey's Supermarkets" delves into the impact of exchange rate and inflation volatility on retailers in the country, focusing on three grocery chains (BİM, Migros, and Şok) listed on the stock exchange.
Despite the visible rise in the influence of the foreign exchange rates on the consumer inflation rate over the past two years, retailers have managed to sustain their sales and increase their profits without being significantly affected by inflation, notes the report. The reason is that major retail companies in Turkey directly pass on price hikes to consumers.

★ Turkish actress Merve Dizdar won the best actress award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival for her teacher role in Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's "About Dry Grasses," reports the daily Duvar.
She became the first Turkish actress to win the award.
In her acceptance speech at the prestigious festival, 36-year-old Dizdar dedicated the award to "all my sisters who… take action to strengthen the struggle of women, who risk everything and never give up hope no matter what, and all fighting spirits waiting to experience the good days they deserve in Turkey."
Ceylan's 197-minute-long "About Dry Grasses" focuses on a young art teacher Samet hoping to be appointed to Istanbul after his mandatory duty at a small village. Samet's life changes after he meets another teacher Nuray, played by Merve Dizdar.
