The arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu triggered mass protests across Turkey, with millions expressing their anger towards President Erdogan's government. Citizens, facing an unbearable economic crisis marked by high inflation and rising rents, united against perceived political oppression. The CHP called for demonstrations in defense of Imamoglu, accusing the government of using the judiciary to eliminate opposition. Nearly 2,000 people were arrested during protests, demonstrating widespread discontent among various social classes, catalyzed by the struggles of everyday life and personal financial hardships.
"We're fighting not just for Ekrem, but for Turkey," said Dilek Imamoglu, wife of the imprisoned opposition politician, with tears in her eyes.
An important reason is also the empty pot on the kitchen stove. People from different social classes are taking to the streets.
