Riots in Europe’s largest city: Police in Istanbul (40,000 of them) blocked labor union May Day marchers from approaching the city center. Police used tear gas and water cannons. The same occurred in several other Turkish cities. Freedom House in Washington has downgraded Turkish media from “partly free” to “not free.”
Like in Thailand, this is a struggle between the majority in the pious countryside, who support the government, and the libertine city dwellers, who do not. The second law of thermodynamics suggests that the libertines will ultimately win.
