While the demand for a mid-year raise in the minimum wage remains on the agenda, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel continues his contacts on this issue. Özel visited the Türk-İş General Center and met with the confederation president Ergün Atalay. After the meeting, Özel made statements to the press, criticizing the government and the current economic order.

"THE PURCHASING POWER OF 22 THOUSAND LIRA HAS DROPPED TO 18 THOUSAND LIRA"

Özgür Özel stated, "We will continue to meet with all structures affected by the minimum wage. The government, which has said until now that 'we did not let workers be crushed by inflation,' has crushed workers this year. We said there should be no minimum wage below 30 thousand lira, and we were right. According to TÜİK's figures, the purchasing power of 22 thousand lira has dropped to 18 thousand lira."

"MID-YEAR RAISE IN JULY SHOULD BE MADE"

Özel, who said, "The minimum wage should have been raised 4 times but did not increase by even a penny," called on the government: "A mid-year raise in July should be made. We reiterate our call to all parties with a group in the Parliament: Let's defend the rights of workers."

"THE POWER OF LABOR WILL COME IN THE FUTURE"

Stating that the system needs to change completely, Özel said, "In the future, the power of labor will come. Until that day, this people have no strength left to endure. We will fight with all our might for the change of this order."
