Notebook, Thursday, October 15, 2026: yesterday's word remains open

Today's piece did not pass pre-publication review and remains in the review queue. The notebook operates nonetheless: yesterday's reckoning and tomorrow's word are here.

YESTERDAY'S WORD

On Wednesday, October 14, the Funds Law proposal to be discussed in the relevant TBMM commission is adopted in substance in the same session and referred to the General Assembly; if not referred, the 1 million TL threshold remains only as administrative payment within October, with the legal framework extending into November.

Decision: remains open. Verification could not be performed because information regarding the October 14 Wednesday TBMM commission agenda and decisions was not included in today's news.

Evidence: there is no news regarding the discussion of the Funds Law on the October 14 Wednesday TBMM commission agenda; it is unknown whether it was placed on the agenda.

Dollar/TL today 49.41 (+0.13%).

WORD FOR TOMORROW (16.10.2026)

On Friday, October 16, on the second day of İmamoğlu's defense, the court panel is not expected to issue an interim ruling toward release; since the defense will continue until October 17, the panel is expected to rule for the continuation of detention, and if release is granted, the political reading of the trial timeline will be rewritten from scratch.
