The reason people are protesting in the streets is the political ban of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu which eliminates him as a viable alternative to Erdogan.

The Turkish economy is in a downward spiral. The Turkish lira is in a devaluation slide due to inflation being 85.51% or higher. Independent analyst ENAG estimated that the annual CPI inflation was in fact 176.0%. A majority of the population.is having trouble paying bills and buying food.

Erdogan has dismissed multiple finance ministers and heads of the central bank “essentially for standing up to him” and challenging his unconventional policies.
