"THEY BOAST ABOUT TOGG AND RIDE IN MERCEDES"
Ağbaba stated that while the ministers boast about being "local and national" with TOGG, they ride in Mercedes and Audi, saying: "Mr. President, I congratulate our Minister of Industry, he boasted about Togg. I don't know if Mustafa Varank is here, but last year Mustafa Varank came here with Togg, I congratulate him. However, the Minister of Industry came to the Plan and Budget discussions with a Mercedes, he couldn't ride in Togg. There are 3 Ministers who ride in Togg: the Minister of Energy, the Minister of Family, and the Minister of Transport; they are local and national, local and national.
