Every day new negative news about the economy is reflected in the media. Although the pro-government media ignores the negative news and makes different evaluations, people are always witnessing this negativity in their daily lives. For instance, the unemployment rate announced by TurkStat is 14.7 percent. The number of unemployed people increased by 1 million 376 thousand and reached 4 million 730 thousand. The number of unemployed people exceeds 7 million when those who are unemployed but are not registered. Meanwhile, the employment is leading to an increase in the unemployment rate. Because in the business life the wheels are gradually getting slower. Because many businesses are shrinking or reducing the number of workers or bankruptcy is the result of many people losing their jobs. According to the statement, the number of people employed decreased by 811 thousand in February compared to the same period last year with 27 million 355 thousand people, the employment rate decreased by 1.8 percentage points to 44.8 percent.
The figures I try to say belong to TurkStat. However, on the same day, a pro-government newspaper stated that 200,000 the new took place in a month, bringing a different view. That is to say, there was no increase in unemployment as well as the impression that there was a decrease, while unemployment rates were confirmed to remain 14.7 percent. It is understood that it is possible to interpret the same numbers differently. In this way, the most negative development can be shown as a positive one. So, it would not be wrong to say that it is possible to lie with numbers. I wish the number of unemployed people in our country could be reduced to the lowest level, the salary of pensioners should not be below the hunger limit, and beyond that, if it weren't for the pensioners who still had to live with a wage below the minimum wage announced by the state. Unfortunately, the facts don't look like this.
Another economic news report reflecting the media said that the budget deficit for 4 months exceeded 54 billion. It is not even necessary to say that this deficit is tried to be closed through new taxes and borrowing. In addition, inflation figures cannot be reduced to the desired level, and the government cannot get rid of them without making internal and external borrowing. Despite all these facts, there is no important issue on the agenda of power beyond winning the mayor of Istanbul. At every opportunity, new packages are explained about the correction of the economy, and even though a positive picture is being drawn, the facts do not fit.
In this article, I do not want to focus on foreign policy. When I say this, I do not know that the mistakes in foreign policy have important implications for the economy inside. However, in order to get rid of the impoverishment of foreign policy and the negative effects of the economy, it is necessary to act together as nation and parties, to seek a solution and to put into practice, especially the power wing of the country's problems in order to distract the society from the perspective of the tension policy. This separatist style may be exhibited as well to save time to solve problems. Because the elections have not come out of the country's agenda for years, and the power owners have always kept showing the same attitude and style. Although they have been in power alone for 17 years, they have been trying to portray the opposition as responsible for all the problems. However, if there is a problem in this country, the parties should support the situation together and be able to explain how the problems can be solved with openness. Because it is necessary to make sacrifices as a society for the solution of increasingly chronic problems. Then our people have to give hand in hand, regardless of which party they vote for. However, even though the government knows everything, it behaves as if it has no problems in the country and develops a discourse. However, there is an election and the separation of society in the name of winning can make existing problems even more impassable. We hope that sanity becomes dominant and embrace is provided before it is too late.
