From shopkeepers to public laborers, from tenants to employees, everyone is complaining about the economic difficulties they are experiencing. People are reacting against the AKP-MHP government.

Residents of Amed (Diyarbakır) spoke to ANF about the financial difficulties they face.

Rıdvan Keser: People have no purchasing power anymore. One should ask Erdoğan about this situation. What is the salary of the people? What is their income? He should also live accordingly. The cause of the economic problems is Erdoğan himself. He says that he is an economist, that he has written the book, but we have read it, and he has not. Economic problems will not be solved until he leaves. As long as he transfers resources to his own reign and his own circle, the nation will be impoverished and miserable.

The economy is in a terrible state

Devrim Deniz: When you ask people who are fanatical AKP supporters, they are all like-minded. The economy is in a terrible situation. We are really in a terrible situation. We cannot do business right now. We are in a very difficult situation as shopkeepers. Individual consumers cannot find money anyway. Most of the people in Amed work below the minimum wage. The reason why the economy is so bad is because of the wrong policies of the state. It is a foreign and dollar-dependent economy. We are in this situation because of the state's economic instability, mistakes, wrong policies and inconsistencies in politics. They no longer give confidence in the economy.

We take each day as it comes

Mehmet Yasar: My children have no future anymore. We have no hope for the future. We take each day as it comes. In this country, 60-year-old people are waiting in the pension queue.

Seyda Goyana: I have not been able to go to a restaurant for a year. I cannot eat with peace of mind because there is no money. I have nothing to say to those who accept this disgrace. I pity those who vote for them and bless them.
