Readers of this column will remember that we drew attention to the fact that, at least once a month, especially after the unions announced their research, the minimum wage workers were at a booming point, and that the declared minimum wage was below the hunger limit. On the one hand, we draw attention to the contradiction in the fact that the state declared a minimum wage, and then millions of retirees were sentenced to an income below this wage. In this case, we emphasize that it is an indispensable condition of the social state that a substantial increase in the wages of retirees and the increase to be made should definitely be above inflation. We also state that in our country, two groups consisting of the rich and the poor have emerged, and the segment we call the middle class is gradually disappearing. Of course, we are not saying this alone. Opposition parties in particular draw attention to this distortion. On the other hand, in the statements made by the ruling wing, it is claimed that there is no crisis in the economy, as the opposition says. Not only that, they don't say that they don't say to citizens who have a phone in their pocket, either by the spokespersons of the government or the pro-media, which could mean that even this phone is seen a lot.
 
The government is trying to get rid of the responsibility of this work by throwing the problems of the country on the opposition and foreign powers. According to the news, which is understood to have been reflected in the media from the ruling wing the previous day, It was stated that the ruling party discussed the subjects such as those who are victims of delayed pension age (EYT), the increase in the minimum wage above the inflation rate, the increase in the pensions of the retirees and employees who have to earn wages below the declared minimum wage, to get rid of this situation, and the work on 3600 additional indicators.
 
Despite the fact that although these issues have been mentioned almost every day until now, the necessity of working for the next 2-3 months was suddenly remembered against the fact that they were not heard by the government. suggests that the election may be on the agenda. Of course, in a democratic system, it is not surprising that early elections are on the agenda. The way to overcome some problems in democracies is elections. In other words, it is to refer to the vote of the nation.
 
Minimum wage, retired, tradesmen and farmers have no power to withstand the problems that arise. Although it is frequently stated that the economy is on a very good path and that there is no such thing as the opposition says, it is not difficult to see the distress experienced when walking around a little among the people. In other words, the pink picture drawn by the government does not reflect on the narrow and fixed-income segment of the society, and it seems that it is not possible to continue like this. Let me point out right away; Whether it is a preparation for an early election surprise, or the government has understood that it is not possible to ignore the cries of the opposition and the public that we have no strength to endure, delaying the steps that need to be taken to give some relief to those with low and fixed incomes will make the solution of the problem even more difficult. In this respect, the heart desires that the news reflect the truth, whether it is understood that accusing the owners of all criticisms from the opposition on certain charges is not a solution to the problems, or in order to please those who are living with difficulties before an election.
