The reporter, an employee of Deutsche Welle and FAZ, has the Erdoğan government against him. Deutsche Welle now wants to take the case to the Constitutional Court in Turkey.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan actually has nothing against journalists, it just depends on what they write. If Erdoğan thinks that they are doing their job well, i.e. that they are working for media such as the state broadcaster TRT or for Ahaber, then he takes them on state visits in the presidential plane and answers their questions. A reporter who spoke to him recently received a lot of attention from Erdoğan for her colorful nail polish. “Am I dreaming?” asked the Turkish president, looking at the reporter’s fingers.
