On the screens of Haberler.com, former Üsküdar Mayor Hilmi Türkmen, who was a guest of Neşe Berber, stated that under the management of Sinem Dedetaş, the district has regressed in every area over the past 14 months, saying, "For the first time in the 41-year history of Üsküdar Municipality, enforcement officers came to the municipality. They were unable to pay the staff's salaries."
Recently, the former mayor Hilmi Türkmen, who has been in the spotlight due to criticisms directed at the current Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş, made striking evaluations during his appearance on Haberler.com screens.
"OUR DISTRICT HAS REGRESSED IN EVERY ASPECT IN 14 MONTHS"
Stating that 14 months have passed since the elections, Türkmen said, "Unfortunately, Üsküdar, like other CHP municipalities, has regressed in every aspect during this 14 months, which is more than a year... In terms of services, project production, economic resources, personnel management, social municipalism, urban transformation... No matter which topic we discuss. I assure you, I am not saying this because I belong to another party. After all, I am a resident of Üsküdar," he expressed.
"IN THE 41-YEAR HISTORY OF ÜSKÜDAR MUNICIPALITY..."
Stating that for the first time in its 41-year history, Üsküdar Municipality faced a seizure, Türkmen said, "Look, I made a post on my social media accounts the other day... I said that a seizure has come to Üsküdar Municipality. For the first time in the 41-year history of Üsküdar Municipality, seizure officers came and took away tables and chairs. Can you imagine?" he said.
"THEY COULDN'T PAY THE STAFF'S SALARIES"
Continuing his remarks, Türkmen expressed that the municipality could not pay the staff's salaries, saying, "They took over the municipality in April 2024, and now we have come to April 2025. Do you know they couldn't pay the staff's salaries? They sent a message to the staff. They said, 'Due to the extended holiday for Ramadan, we couldn't process the payroll, we cannot pay your salaries.' They collectively sent a false message to all staff. Just think about it, they sent a false message. Can you believe the state of the Üsküdar Municipality administrators? They paid the salaries with a 10-day delay. But what is the truth? There is no money," he stated.
