IYI Party Chairwoman Meral Akşener made statements regarding the agenda at her party's Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) Group Meeting. Expressing that the government carries out incompetent economic policies, Akşener said, “They ignored that 1 out of every 3 children struggles with poverty and deprivation. They ignored even the voice of their own conscience when we had children going to school hungry.”
“WE RANKED FIRST IN THE POVERTY INDEX”
Criticizing the economy, Akşener said, “As a result of the wrong choices of the government, poverty has deepened so much that we cannot call it poverty. This is misery. We are not the only ones telling this truth. The Misery Index says the same thing. Turkey became the first with 93,3 points, outperforming Argentina. We became the first by making history in the Misery Index. It turned out that we were in the worst situation since the Second World War. According to Mr. Crisis, these are our good days.”
“THE HAIR COMES OUT AND THE GLOVES COME OFF!”
Referring to the discussions after the Justice and Development Party (AKP)- People’s Democratic Party (HDP) meeting, Akşener said, “Look at the fate, who came together with whom. Principles, values, story, horse bargaining were great for both sides. No one should try to harangue about homeland, nation and survival on our nation. With this meeting, the hair comes out and the gloves come off!”
