Meat, wheat, straw, and now the "dry onion" has been entered the line of imports.
 
Onion prices could not be taken under control, resulting in the resetting of customs duties on the import of dry onion.
 
When we heard that the onion will be imported, we came to talk as Pakdemirli, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.
 
And we said, "We export because we have money!"
 
What do all these imports show?
 
It will show what the country, of course, shows that the agricultural sector is not properly governed.
 
These imports, of course, justify those who say 'Agriculture and animal husbandry are collapsed for EU's sake.'
 
When we heard that the customs duty on the import of dried onions was reset, we remembered the 'They'are stocking onions to raise its price.'
 
In order to ignore the failure of agricultural policies, the country's rulers claimed that speculators were stocking onion to raise the price of it, and they were trying to give the impression with warehouse raids to prevent this.
 
However, the decision now taken shows that such a stocking is not in question!
 
It is nothing that rulers of the country cannot even balance dry onion production.
 
This time they find it difficult to win mayors in big cities.
 
In cities such as Ankara-Istanbul, they are trying to reduce the water prices by 30% and try to win the hearts of the citizen, but in doing so they show how they stake the citizens in the remaining years.
 
They believe that the citizen will vote for them because they have reduced their water prices.
 
We think it will be the opposite and the citizen will ask the account of the great pile they ate in the remaining years in the local elections.
 
Do they just import dry onion for fun?
 
Yes, we have a management that literally spills out.
 
This is a management that has emerged with great claims, but it is weak on resolving very small issues! Allah knows, they will face what they have been fearing from in the local elections and face a big defeat.
