Turkey's main opposition leader said he will not pay his power bills until Tayyip Erdogan withdraws recent price hikes, and the president's ruling party slammed the move on Thursday as a provocation amid growing discontent over surging inflation.
In January, inflation jumped to nearly 50% after a currency crash late last year triggered by Erdogan's unorthodox low interest rate policy, raising the cost of living for Turks already struggling to make ends meet.
