The CHP organized a protest in the Turkish Grand National Assembly for the minimum wage increase.

CHP deputies protested the possible increase in the minimum wage with banners reading, "Our demand for the minimum wage is 30, we will not accept anything below that," during the discussions on the Ministry of Labor and Social Security budget at the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission. Veli Ağbaba, a member of the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission and Malatya Deputy, said, "Survive for a month, not 15 days, not three days with 17 thousand liras. We will accept it too. We want a budget for retirees, minimum wage earners, and civil servants. Those like you, who are well-off, do not understand. Well-off people, listen to the voice of the citizens a little."

The TBMM Planning and Budget Commission convened under the chairmanship of AK Party Samsun Deputy Mehmet Muş to discuss the Ministry of Labor and Social Security budget.

FROM THE AK PARTY SEATS TO CHP DEPUTIES: "YOUR JOB IS A SHOW. YOU ARE EITHER SHOWING OR CONCERTING"

CHP deputies protested the possible increase in the minimum wage with banners reading, "Our demand for the minimum wage is 30, we will not accept anything below that," during the discussions on the Ministry of Labor and Social Security budget at the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission. CHP deputies demanded that the minimum wage be at least 30 thousand liras. While CHP members expressed their demands for the minimum wage with banners, voices from the AK Party seats rose, saying, "Your job is a show. You are either showing or concerting. Do something for the people."

"SURVIVE FOR THREE DAYS WITH 17 THOUSAND LIRAS. WE WILL ACCEPT IT TOO"

Veli Ağbaba, a member of the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission and Malatya Deputy, said the following regarding the minimum wage: The minimum wage has become an ordinary wage. We will not accept a minimum wage below 30 thousand. Inflation is at 50 percent. Poverty is skyrocketing. We say to those well-off, who do not know the minimum wage, that the minimum wage should be 30 thousand liras. Survive for a month, not 15 days, not three days with 17 thousand liras. We will accept it too. We want a budget for retirees, minimum wage earners, and civil servants. Those like you, who are well-off, do not understand. Well-off people, listen to the voice of the citizens a little."
