Felicity (Saadet) Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu made important evaluations on the agenda at the weekly regular press conference. Karamollaoğlu, who gave information about the health status of Oğuzhan Asiltürk, Chairman of the High Advisory Board of Saadet Party, who was treated at Ankara City Hospital, "I learned that Mr. Asiltürk's health condition is even better since yesterday. I hope he will be back to us as soon as possible," he said.
"SHEDDING BLOOD IN THE ELECTIONS NOT ACCEPTABLE"
Karamollaoğlu reminded of the tragic incident in which four people, three of whom were from the same family, lost their lives before the 24 June 2018 elections in the Suruç district of Şanlıurfa, "First of all, let me state that blood mixing in elections is never an acceptable situation. There should be no blood involved in the election. We also experienced this in local elections. Two of our brothers were brutally murdered at the ballot box in Malatya. For this reason, the government will take the most serious measures so that no one will even think of shedding blood in the elections," he said.
WE WILL WORK FOR JUSTICE
Karamollaoğlu, who called for heeding the call for justice and for justice to be manifested, said:
"As Saadet Party, we will follow the cases of 'Saturday mothers' and 'Diyarbakır mothers', like Emine Şenyaşar, and will fight to make their cause our own. Let this be our vow to our nation! Let everyone be sure that if this task has been given to us, so that we will take every step for justice to be manifested."
INTEREST PAID FOR ALL EFFORTS
"Central Bank reserves melted. The taxes paid go to someone else as an interest expense. In 2020, 142.1 billion TL of the taxes collected from the sweat of the people was paid as interest. This figure will reach 304.5 billion liras in 2023. The current account deficit and the public debt stock are increasing day by day. The share of the public budget allocated to investment has now fallen even below the interest expense. While the amount paid to interest from the budget was 142.1 billion TL in 2020, the investment expenditure in the same period was 130.7 billion TL. Income per capita decreased to $8599 in 2020; In other words, the bread of our people is getting smaller every year," Karamollaoglu added.
"WE WILL SHOW EVERYONE HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS"
Karamollaoğlu, who called for the elimination of the problems in the economy and an end to waste in the state, "Building a palace is a waste. Let this be the palace of justice if necessary. What is the use of building a palace of justice when you can't support your citizen's house, while you are brooding on how to bring the end of the month? We pledge! We will show everyone how these problems can be solved if the people give us the power to do so," he said.
"ONE OF EVERY FOUR PEOPLE IS UNEMPLOYED"
Expressing that one of the biggest problems Turkey has experienced is the bad course in the economy, Karamollaoğlu noted that the government has denied the problems experienced. Karamollaoğlu stated that Turkey is facing a bad economic picture and said:
"At the end of 2020, the broad unemployment rate was 28.4%. Despite all statistical corrections, the broad unemployment rate for July 2021 was declared as 23.6 percent. One out of every four people is unemployed. Public deficits have reached record levels and according to the Medium Term Program, budget deficits will continue to increase in the next three years. In 2020, a budget deficit of 175.3 billion TL was given. In 2023, the budget deficit is foreseen to be 290.2 billion TL."
