“Is the holiday bonus should be 2,000 liras or 2,500 liras?” After the discussions, the Minister of Labor Vedat Bilgin the previous day, "There will be no increase," said yesterday but President Erdogan had the last word.
"Retirees will receive last year's figure, that is, one 1,100 liras, during the feast," he said.
As it will be remembered, although the most authoritative mouths said, "We will not crush the retirees into the economic crisis," at the beginning of the year, it was only dismissed with the inflation difference, which is the legal increase.
At the beginning of the year, Social Insurance Institution (SSK) and Social Security Organization for Artisans and Self-employed (Bağ-Kur) retirees received a 25.48 percent increase, and a 27.48 percent increase in civil servants and civil servants. In the last 4 months, both the salary increase and the expectations for a raise in the holiday bonus fell into the water.
Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labor and Social Security, "Retired holiday bonus will be paid as 1.100 TL on 28 or 29 April," he said.
He said that the cost of the bonus paid during the two holidays was 25 billion liras.
Yesterday, President and AKP Chairman Erdoğan stated that there will be no increase in the holiday bonuses of retirees,
As Minister Bilgin said, "the retirement bonus will be 1,100 liras," he said.
“Patience” fell on the pensioner's share again.
HOLIDAY BONUS REACTION TO THE MINISTER FROM RETIRED PEOPLE…
Retired Memur-Sen labour union stated that the holiday bonuses given to retirees before the upcoming Ramadan Feast have expired in the face of increasing inflation and asked for an increase.
In the statement, it is stated that it is not fair to keep the bonuses in place while inflation rises and purchasing power decreases.

BONUS MUST BE INCREASED AS THE INFLATION RATE
In the article signed by Retired Memur-Sen President Ali Küçükkösen, "Holiday bonuses should first be updated according to the economic conditions and current conditions, defined with the amounts that will keep the holiday like a holiday, and in the following period, they should be increased by the inflation rate in 6-month periods," he said.
