In Turkey, plans are being made for increases in the minimum wage, civil servant, and pensioner salaries. In Turkey, where the minimum wage is 17,002 TL, Türk-İş, which represents workers, has proposed 29,583 TL. The pensioner and civil servant salaries will start to become clear in the first week of the new year.
As News.com, while we convey the discussions about the increases and the related formulas in detail to our readers, readers frequently bring up the salaries of retired MPs in their comments on the news. Similarly, social media users are also demanding that the increase rates for the minimum wage, civil servant, and pensioner salaries be raised higher by recalling the salaries of retired MPs.
HOW MUCH IS THE RETIRED MP SALARY IN TURKEY?
In Turkey, where the MP salary is 170,000 TL, the retired MP salary is 110,995 TL. This amount is criticized as it is several times higher than the minimum wage of 17,002 TL and the lowest pension of 12,500 TL. Additionally, the salaries of those who are both retired and serving MPs in the Turkish Grand National Assembly reach 285,000 TL.
MPs HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS
MPs whose phone bills are paid by the assembly cannot be fined for traffic violations. The medical expenses of MPs (both former and current) and the people they are responsible for are covered. MPs and their family members are issued diplomatic passports.
WHY ARE RETIRED MP SALARIES CRITICIZED?
Retired MP salaries frequently come to the agenda, especially during times when economic conditions are tough and inflation is rising. The salaries and social rights granted to MPs are perceived by many as an unfair situation when compared to other professions. Especially when compared to the salaries of teachers, nurses, or civil servants working in the public sector, the salaries and retirement benefits provided to MPs are on the public agenda.
