In Antalya, individual protests involving climbing to heights have occurred in response to financial distress. In August, a man climbed a 10-meter pine tree in Antalya to protest bank debts, demanding that his credit cards be closed and his debts erased. Following negotiations with a police negotiator, he was persuaded to descend and was taken to a police station.

In September, a subcontractor worker climbed the roof of the Royal Palm Otel in Alanya to protest unpaid wages, citing severe financial hardship and the seizure of assets at his home. This incident followed recent labor disputes at the same hotel, where groups of workers had gathered to protest similar claims regarding unpaid renovation and installation work.
