• The arrest of the opposition leader, Ekrem Imamoglu, intensifies Recep Tayyip Erdogan's authoritarian regime.
• The separation of powers in Turkey has weakened to the point where the arrest can be interpreted as a political blow.
• Erdogan, whose party suffered a recent electoral defeat, is considering altering the constitution to stay in power.
• The arrest of Imamoglu threatens the political and economic stability of Turkey at a time when relations with the EU and NATO are a priority.

Conclusion: The imprisonment of the Istanbul mayor,_potential contender to Erdogan, may have significant political, economic, and international repercussions for Turkey.
