The expected improvement for retirees, who were promised "not to be crushed under inflation" by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan himself, was not included in the bill submitted to the Parliament the previous day.
While the said bill is expected to be discussed in the Parliament today, it does not seem possible that a new law will be passed from the Parliament, which will go into recess soon if no steps are taken.
In this case, the promises made to the pensioner will be forgotten. Nor will a hike appear on the horizon before autumn.
ERDOĞAN: “WORK IS DONE, WE WILL CHECK IT NEXT WEEKS”
"(Retirement salaries) I gave the necessary instructions to our ministers regarding improvements. Our Vice President, Minister of Treasury and Finance and Minister of Labor and Social Security started their work. We will make the necessary announcement in the coming weeks," Erdoğan said.
