Defeat for Erdogan and nationalists in elections in Turkey. The dominance of his AKP is crumbling.

The mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu (CHP), initially remained cautious in a press conference shortly after the elections. Pensioners in Turkey have tipped the scales in the local elections. The minimum pension is currently 10,000 Turkish lira (around 286 euros) and is well below the minimum wage of 17,000 TL (around 486 euros) The amount is not enough given the price increases in front and back.
