AK Party member Külünk, who listened to the retired citizen's complaint, made self-criticism to his party.

In the local elections on March 31, Metin Külünk, who announced his candidacy for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor from the AK Party but was not preferred by President Erdoğan, made a self-criticism about his party when he heard a citizen's protest about the high cost of living during a street interview he came across in the market.

"I WILL NOT VOTE UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT FALLS"

During his visit to Çarşamba Market in Istanbul's Fatih district, Külünk encountered the reaction of a retired citizen who said, "There is a robbery going on. I used to always vote for the AK Party, but this time I didn't vote, and I won't vote until the government falls."

"THIS CITIZEN IS COMPLETELY RIGHT"

After the retired citizen finished speaking, Külünk intervened and made a self-criticism about his party, saying, "I'm sorry, but if the children of those who have accumulated fortunes during the AK Party era can go to a cafe by the Bosphorus and pay 10,000 liras for a cup of coffee, or if a family can pay 15,000 liras for a meal at a restaurant, and if these people who were poor yesterday are now spoiled, and if those who carry this movement on their shoulders are waiting for the evening when prices will drop to do their shopping in the market, and if they have been carrying us on their shoulders for 20 years, and if we don't take a step to solve their problems when we see this, then this citizen is completely right."
