As voting for 16 April's referendum continues abroad, AKP members take well-known scenes from Turkey into European countries. AKP members have been documented distributing aid packages for people to vote “yes” through mosques in Strasbourg, France.

The word “EVET” (“YES”) was seen on the packages distributed from the Yunus Emre Mosque, right next door to the polling station in Strasbourg. The packages also say “Black Tea”.

AKP members were documented taking the “YES” marked packages out of vehicles, and they took the marked packages from larger, unmarked boxes. It seems like these packages were transported in secret.

As voting started on Tuesday, the “YES” packages were seen distributed to predetermined persons after they voted.

A HDP official spoke to the ANF on the scandal and said that the matter was first taken to the Strasbourg Consul General by CHP representatives. The HDP official added that they also spoke with the Consul General yesterday.

The HDP official said that Turkey’s Consul General told them, “The distributors are outside the (voting) building. There is nothing I can do.”

In a controversial decree by the Supreme Electoral Council, voting booths in Europe are set up in official representation offices like embassies and consulates, or in addresses that belong to the Religious Affairs Turkish-Islamic Union (DİTİB) association. DİTİB has been in the news for being in the center of AKP’s espionage efforts in Europe. In Strasbourg, right across the building with the polling booths, stands the Yunus Emre Mosque, from where the aid is distributed.
