Controversial EYT comment from Bilal Erdogan: It was a disaster, I also deserved it.

President Erdogan's son Bilal Erdogan, who met with young people at an event in Kocaeli, made striking statements. Bilal Erdogan, who said "The crime rates and types of crimes of refugees in Turkey are lower than those of our own citizens," used the expression 'disaster' about the EYT decision.

"WERE WE DECEIVED? WERE WE DECEIVED"

Describing himself as an "economist," Bilal Erdogan said, "Young people were deceived here. I also qualified for EYT (retirement age for those who are affected) by the way, despite being against it. Those aged 42-45 retired. Who will pay their salaries? You will pay. You will pay the salaries of early retirees throughout your working period. Were we deceived? We were deceived. EYT was a great disaster. With this dirty understanding of opposition and the imposition of populism on politics, these became possible. If EYT is bad, if it is wrong, there should be a generation that can say it is wrong. That 43-year-old retiree will receive that salary until they die. Let's think of something better, let's offer an alternative instead," he said.
