In Ankara, low-income citizens queue up in the early hours of the morning to buy minced meat from the Meat and Dairy Institution for 119 TL and cubed meat for 129 TL.
In Ankara, citizens form long queues in front of the sales point at the entrance of the General Directorate of Meat and Milk Institution (ESK) next to the Turkish Space Agency (TUA).
The "cheap mincemeat" queue next to the Space Agency is almost countering the government's words "there is no problem in the economy, we took flight"!
“NO HONOR WITH AN EMPTY STOMACH”
Low-income citizens continue to wait in line for hours to buy a kilo of cheap minced meat from the Meat and Milk Institution, as a kilo of ground beef costs 300 liras in markets and butchers.
Citizens queue up in the early hours of the morning to buy minced meat from the Meat and Milk Institution for 119 TL and cubed meat for 129 TL.
“Think of those who made us experience this”
Retired citizen Ayşe Koç, "None of us come here for pleasure. Let those who make us experience this think. People are making sahur, they come and line up here. I get paid less than minimum wage. Do you know what it's like to be unable to achieve something? These people may or may not take one kilo of ground beef to their homes per month. Where is the honor? There is no honor with an empty stomach," she said.
“THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ME”
Another person who said he was retired, "You will serve the villagers. You will lead the road, you will take the agronomist. You will take them all, you will employ them. If you sell 7 fertilizer factories when you come to the head of the country, you will buy a ton of fertilizer for 18 thousand liras. If the farmer buys diesel for 25 thousand liras, he cannot plant that field. I come from Mamak. This is not fair to me," he said.
A 70-year-old woman, on the other hand, stated that they came at 6 in the morning and stood in line in front of the Meat and Milk Institution.
"What kind of a suffering is this? We want to tell people's suffering. Why don't they allow this, why? So that the public does not see, so that people do not understand something," she said.
