For better context in the broader timeline: Yesterday, the government pressured the university he graduated from to falsify his diploma. Law enforcement previously conducted raids and arrested various elected mayors, and is also keeping Umit Ozdag, leader of Zafer Party in jail without any reasonable justification.

Istanbul Republic Chief Prosecution Office has ordered arrest on 100 people that include politicians, journalists and businessmen, and Erdogan’s biggest rival candidate for president, Ekrem Imamoglu, who is also the current mayor of Istanbul.

          For example this article.

          Orbán has been in the minority for months now, not just in polls but actual crowd turnout as well.
