Felicity (Saadet) Party General Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu, made statements on the agenda at the party's weekly regular press conference. At the press conference held at the Balgat Training Center, Karamollaoğlu made assessments on vetoing the minimum wage negotiations and the filter bill for factories.
THE ISSUE OF 'Victims of Delayed Pension Age' (EYT) SHOULD BE SOLVED ASAP
Karamollaoğlu, who started his speech by mentioning the issues of age at retirement, "While the government is finding money for all kinds of mistakes, it is not understandable that our citizens cannot find a source for this problem. The problem of the Victims of Delayed Pension Age (EYT) people is clearly obvious. The state must remain loyal to its agreement with the citizen. When people start to work, the retirement period is certain, but then you change the retirement period. This isn't anywhere in the world. The delay of this problem increases the burden on us. This must be solved. There is no case that this issue will be solved in a year. Without further ado this issue can be solved."
Reminding the minimum wage negotiations started the previous day, Karamollaoğlu said, " course, we have to pay attention to some issues while this meeting is taking place. The hunger limit is 2 thousand 12 TL and the poverty limit is 6 thousand 849 TL. What really upset and amazes us is that the minimum wage is discussed at the hunger line. There is a power that forces people on the hunger line. There is a power that does not care about the livelihood of families. First you need to get rid of waste in order to increase resources. I think this is a cruelty to the working person. Cruelty to labor, cruelty to laborer, cruelty to human. Our Prophet (PBUH) states that ‘the employee should be paid without drying his forehead’.
ANIMATION IS LEFT BETWEEN HUNGER AND POVERTY
Karamollaoğlu, inflation figures are subject to a serious adjustment, said: "Of course, suddenly sitting at the table in trade unions may not be able to demand very high figures. But in a country where the gap between the poverty and the hunger threshold secret like Turkey to overcome this problem can not be solved with the annual program. The minimum wage should normally be on the poverty line."
DETERMINE A INFLATED-FREE INCREASE
"Some will rebel or see it as a dreamer," Karamollaoğlu continued, "I don't respect any of these. Normally, a working person must earn a wage to earn his living. Determine an inflation-free increase. If a government wants to double the minimum wage in real terms, if it increases 7 percent every year, it doubles after 10 years. If this were the case, we would not have spoken whether or not the minimum wage was on the hunger line. 4 thousand TL whether or not to talk. We do not expect 50 percent increase in Erbakan Hodja, then 150 percent. Not every man can handle this."
Karamollaoğlu attention to disturbances in the economy, "Turkey in the domestic market's revival of the economy's revival, the revival of the economy to increase investments, while increasing investment is conducive to the strengthening of Turkey. Turkey causes behind the growth as we had imagined. Internal consumption is one of the most important factors. If the minimum wage doubles, the domestic market will double. Unemployment today does not stay at this level. Government revenues increase. When we say these things someone says you know how much money a bullet. Of course we know how long it is. But what is important here is not how much money is a bullet, but the economic programs you have followed so far as the government," he said.
THE NUMBER ONE SUBJECT OF TURKEY'S RUIN IS CORRUPTION
Karamollaoğlu, "the number one issue of Turkey's sinking is corruption. They are investments made without feasibility investments. Turkey's economy is unclaimed. We see that Turkey's economy walking. In novice, your corruption was not so much. Agriculture was not so submerged."
