Addressing the members of the organization of his party at both meetings held at the Felicity (Saadet) Party Headquarters, Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu pointed out that the Saadet Party continues to work for all humanity,
"A strong foreign policy is needed to ensure peace and tranquility in the world. As National Vision (Millî Görüş), we want a strong foreign policy to be followed. Our work has to be systematic. We have a team working in every field. The way we reach the society is our organizations," Karamollaoglu said.
“WE CAN MANUFACTURE BETTER THAN THE THINGS IMPORTED”
Reminding that the engine factory established by the late National Vision Leader Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan was closed in the past, Karamollaoğlu said, "Erbakan Hodja established an engine factory in the 1950s. However, those who did not want this had it closed, together with the state. We say that we are not obliged to the Americans. We say that we can do better in our country than they do."
“BIG NUMBERS DOESN'T MEAN A REMEDY"
Karamollaoğlu stated that the 50 percent increase in the minimum wage is important but insufficient in the face of inflation.
"The President is bragging. Because we gave the biggest raise in the history of the republic. Erbakan Hodja gave a 50 percent raise in 1996, and then 30 percent. Yes, no one expected a 50 percent raise. But we'll see what happens after 2 months after this hike. Inflation is 70 percent and the government has made a 50 hike. The fact that the number of hikes is large does not mean that it is a panacea," he added.
“POWER MUST BE TRANSPARENT”
Stating that the government is not transparent, Karamollaoğlu underlined that it causes the existing problems, "The government has to be transparent, auditable and qualified. The problems we face at the moment are due to the lack of transparency and the lack of importance given to merit. Non-investment-oriented investments only give the appearance of development. Turkey has to make all kinds of production itself. In this way, development can be achieved," he said.
“THE BIGGEST RAISE WAS GIVEN IN 1996”
Karamollaoğlu, reacting to the statements that the government has made the biggest raise regarding the minimum wage, "Erbakan Hodja gave a 50 percent raise in 1996. Then he gave a 30 percent raise," he added.
