The host was stunned to hear Cemal Enginyurt's salary: Is it true?

Recently, Cemal Enginyurt, a member of the Istanbul Parliament who resigned from the Democratic Party, revealed the salaries of parliamentarians who continue their duties even after retirement during a live broadcast.

WILL RECEIVE A SALARY OF 147 THOUSAND LIRA

Enginyurt stated his salary with the words, "I will receive 65 thousand lira from there, 80 thousand from here, a total of 147 thousand lira," when the host Ebru Baki asked him, "You have also received a general raise," during the program he attended on Sözcü TV while discussing retirement salaries. In response, Baki asked, "Is it real, or are you joking?"

RESPONSE TO CRITICISMS

In the continuation of his remarks, Enginyurt expressed his feelings about the reactions he saw on social media regarding his salary, saying: "Someone who gives me 145 thousand lira... I am defending the rights of this retiree, I say, 'Is it fair from God? How can a person live on 7 thousand 500 lira?' I say. The man writes below, 'Your rudder is in place, what’s it to you?' It is actually happening to me, my heart is burning."
