🇹🇷 TURKEY PROTESTS: MINIMUM WAGE HIKE FALLS FLAT
Thousands hit the streets in Ankara demanding a larger minimum wage increase after the government announced a 30% hike for 2025, bringing the monthly wage to 22,104 lira ($630).
Workers, facing 45% inflation, wanted a 70% increase.
Opposition leader Ozgur Ozel blasted the move.
“If there’s no bread, there should be elections!”
Meanwhile, Erdogan defended the hike, claiming it balances inflation and employment—but protesters weren’t buying it.
