Democratic Forces in Turkey on the Rise: Turkey′s opposition on the rise
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling Justice and
Development Party (AKP) are used to success, having dominated politics
in the country for almost two decades. But they currently find

popularity.
The ongoing economic and currency crisis and the government's handling of it has contributed significantly to the population's waning support. The Turkish lira continues to fall, now trading at just below 8 to the US dollar — as compared to below 6 at the beginning of the year — after the Turkish central bank raised interest rates and introduced a number of other measures that have been roundly criticized.
Steve Hanke, an economist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, told DW the government had also miscalculated the annual inflation rate, with Ankara claiming it was 11.75%, when in reality it is far more likely around 37%.
The Turkish population is also increasingly dissatisfied with the way in which the government has reacted to the coronavirus pandemic.
