Minister of Labor and Social Security Işıkhan announced that they have increased the lowest SSK and Bağ-Kur pension by 15.75%, raising it to 14,469 lira.

ÖZGÜR ÖZEL'S STRIKING STATEMENTS

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel reacted immediately to the development announced as he entered his party's group meeting. Özel stated, "You cannot say from where you sit, 'We have raised the lowest pension to this amount.' A law must be passed first. I condemn this arrogance and incompetence. I call out to all retirees. This government deserves it. We will not just show a yellow card, but a red card."

"THE PERSON IN HOT ROOMS SAYS..."

Key points from CHP leader Özel's statements are as follows; "You are hungry, you are poor, you are unemployed, but you should rejoice in the victory in Syria. As if Turkey has not lost 200 billion dollars but has gained, as if 4.5 million refugees have not come to Turkey, saying 'There is victory there.' I have not seen the victory you speak of in Kars, Ardahan, or Erzurum. Erdoğan talks about the natural gas support he provides. I remember it like yesterday; during election time, there was a panic! While he was saying 'As long as this life lasts, I will not retire the EYT members who will receive double salaries,' he spoke with Putin and postponed the natural gas bill. Then he said, 'Everyone gets 25 cubic meters of gas for free.' Why is it free for those who have money? It is free for everyone as an election bribe. If it wasn't an election bribe, why is it not free today? Why is it not available now? Is winter passing more gently, has the purchasing power of the people increased? He turned natural gas into an election bribe. Now he says, 'Özgür Bey does not know these things.' Where is the gesture you made that day? We proposed a natural gas discount in places where we know that the 5,000 TL coming from Kars cannot be paid with the same salary as the 2,000 TL in Manisa because it is harsh in winter. We will continue to say this.

He said, 'The Amasya-Chorum-Kırıkkale high-speed train project is opposed by CHP.' A blatant lie... The person in hot rooms says, 'They are calculating gold, Özgür Bey loves it very much. While he is wandering from jeweler to jeweler with a calculator in hand, let him also calculate how many quarters the CHP municipalities owe to SGK.' It is good for them to respond here. It is better to respond to our criticism with humor rather than slander.

"CHP MUNICIPALITIES WANT TO STOP SERVICES"

We find it appropriate for the language of politics to be established from here. You cannot prevent the discussion of real issues in the environment of conflict and polarization you desire by responding to your slander with slander. Since you wanted it, I did it. The debt of municipalities to SGK is 10 units, while the debt of other companies is 90 units. Next month, he plans to forgive the interest for companies and divide the principal. Until that day, he wants to collect the money from the municipalities. He says to shake them off. He is doing this to stop the services of CHP municipalities.

"YOU CANNOT SAY FROM WHERE YOU SIT, 'WE HAVE RAISED THE PENSION TO THIS AMOUNT'"

The Minister of Labor said, 'We have raised the lowest pension to 14,469 TL.' A law must be passed for this. You cannot say from where you sit, 'We have raised the lowest pension to this amount.' I condemn this arrogance and incompetence. I call out to all retirees. This government deserves it. We will not just show a yellow card, but a red card."
