While the country was grappling with the currency crisis, no one really understood what was going on. As a society that has experienced many crises in its recent history, for the first time, the December 2021 crisis could not be understood in any way, although a forecast, expectation or scenario was drawn in almost every crisis.
While the duty of the statesmen is to reduce tension, contribute to the normalization process and instill confidence, on the contrary, deepening and provoking the crisis has increased the severity of the crisis.
There is a counterpart to polarization in the social and political field. However, in the economic field and in a period when the country's currency is facing extinction, if you try to do business with arrogance by shouting, the people will pay the price first, and then it will be everyone's turn.
The crisis, where it could not be predicted, has calmed down -for now- after the President's statement.
WHO HAVE A SAY IN THE ECONOMY?
Unfortunately, we do not have a say in the economy of our country. In all crises up to now, governments would have been involved in the crisis in one way or another, by explaining measures and packages. But today, more than seventy percent of the stock market in the country, giant facilities, insurance companies, banks and the stock market are in the hands of foreign capital, so they play with our money as they wish, we can only watch. Even now, it is impossible to predict what will happen to the dollar a week from now.
Words are insufficient to describe what has happened in the last month. Maybe there was a period full of uncertainty and pessimism that could not be seen even in war times. On the one hand, a minimum wage statement is made. Until the date when the statement will be published in the Official Gazette, 250 out of 4250 are gone. It is destroyed before it is implemented. Currency, gold, the stock market collapsed, all of this happened in a short time.
NEW MODEL IN CRISIS; MONEY EARNING GUARANTEE
A new bridge has been added to the bridge with a pass guarantee, a road with a vehicle guarantee, an airport with a passenger guarantee, and a hospital with a patient guarantee. The citizen, who has paid the expenses of the bridges he has not seen and the airport he has not entered in his life, will now subsidize the depositors in the bank. Making fun of the public, "Is there a prison with a prisoner guarantee, a cemetery with a guarantee for a funeral?" Those who said that were not mistaken. It was a dream come true, the guaranteed Turkish lira came into play.
Crisis; The crisis was frozen by introducing a kind of interest until the cover of bribery and legitimacy given to the capital owners was made up, not with the discovery of any investment or resource, things going well, production and employment increased.
Solution; Most of all, it was realized through the rentier, exploitative capitalist system of the nation's sweat, by fixing the interest in a way that would benefit foreign moneylenders, and by paying disguised interest to those who deposited their money in Turkish lira in the bank. Unfortunately, it is not known who bought or sold what in this process, who earned how much and how much damage was done.
The cost of the new economic model will be covered by the public, that is, a new bill has been put on the backs of the poor and the minimum wage. “The model of taking from the poor and giving to the rich!”
Our money can be manipulated very easily and easily by foreign powers. It is not possible to understand why the sane people were completely overjoyed, as if there was a new wave of conquest, in the face of this movement of the dollar.
SOLUTION, INTEREST-FREE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION ECONOMY
Today, production is miserable, the employment problem in the country is at an extreme, swimming in a sea of debt. 220 billion lira is paid just to convert the debt into interest. In such a period, the relief of the foreign currency is definitely not because the business is going well, the economy is improving, a radical solution has been produced, and the crisis has disappeared. The point was only that new confidence was given to the interest holders. Don't worry, business seems to be back to normal as it is said "you will not lose again, we will pay your money". Besides, is it normalization for the dollar, which is 8 and a half lira, to rise to 13? Even the expression that a patient who is frightened with death consents to malaria remains very light in the face of these experiences.
But unfortunately, those who made us experience all of this, instead of going out in front of the public and apologizing, are bragging about as if they have solved a major crisis by their subjects as a great hero.
Yes, it is time for the country to tidy itself up with its economic policies and development goals. New attempts with all kinds of interest still do not go beyond fantasy. This situation should now be ended and the nation's purse should not be the future experiment place of the country.
