Centinaia di migliaia si radunano a Izmir contro il regime di Erdogan

[Live update from Independent](https://www.indyturk.com/node/758788/siyaset/chp-i%CC%87zmirde-millet-i%CC%87radesine-sahip-%C3%A7%C4%B1k%C4%B1yor%C2%A0mitingi-d%C3%BCzenliyor) (in Turkish)

I just came back from Antalya region in Turkey. Who is the man I kept seeing in the buildings? Is someone that wants to be president? In the airport there was a big sign with that man, Erdogan and the Turkish flag.

Thank you!

It’s a bit disingenuous to say they’ve gathered against the Erdogan regime. [It’s a national holiday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commemoration_of_Atat%C3%BCrk,_Youth_and_Sports_Day). Many would’ve gathered even if nothing was going wrong and CHP was organizing a standard rally.

But the crowd size is probably due to the spirit of protest. Plus, probably no person present in the image supports Erdogan, and all of them would vote for the opposition.

Oh I was wondering what had happened with the Imamoglu protests, havent heard about it on the news lately

That is soooo many people
