İmamoğlu's statement on minimum wage: Clearly, the responsibility falls on us.

The Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), Ekrem İmamoğlu, reacted to the minimum wage announced as 22,104 lira.

"IT IS CLEAR THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY FALLS ON US"

Imamoğlu, who presented 2 'proposals' to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, stated, "It is clear that the responsibility falls on us. As IMM, we will need to significantly increase our Social Assistance budget."

"USE THE 'DECREE' CARD YOU OFTEN USE IMMEDIATELY TOMORROW"

In a statement shared on his social media account, Imamoğlu said: "With its decision this evening, the government has officially mocked 9 million minimum wage workers and their families. 22,104 lira is not even enough for one month's rent in Istanbul. It is clear that the responsibility falls on us. As IMM, we will need to significantly increase our Social Assistance budget. I have 2 proposals for the President, who is disconnected from reality and the people. Use the 'decree' card you often use immediately tomorrow and provide an additional increase in the minimum wage. Also, announce that the determined amount is for 6 months and that a new regulation will be made after 6 months. Do not make the nation pay the price for your poor economic policies."
