Young Party Leader Şahindur: The minimum wage should be 50,000 lira.

The leader of the Young Party, Burçin Şahindur, was a guest of the moderators of the program published on Haberler.com, presenter Melis Yaşar and Haberler.com News Director Olgun Kızıltepe. Şahindur made striking statements regarding the economy.

"MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE 50 THOUSAND LIRA"

Şahindur expressed that the minimum wage should be 50 thousand lira and the lowest pension should be 35 thousand lira, stating, "They ask us where we will find the source? If the 3 trillion dollars in taxes collected in 22 years under the AK Party government were used correctly, these figures would not seem excessive." he said.

"WHERE DID THE TAXES GO?"

Şahindur, who claimed that despite the AK Party government having a very large tax revenue, it could not use this source effectively, said, "You say you built bridges, hospitals, and roads, but you have not provided the support that civil servants, retirees, and students deserve. Where did this money go? The AK Party government needs to provide an account, a reckoning that will convince every segment of this public. If they want to be in power again, they must first explain to people in a logical way where they used this money. If we used this money correctly, we could give the minimum wage at 50 thousand and 35 thousand." he stated.

"PRODUCTION-BASED ECONOMY IS THE ONLY WAY OUT"

Burçin Şahindur stated that a production-based model is essential for solving economic problems. Şahindur emphasized that inflation could be reduced by supporting agriculture and livestock, and he said:

"Right now, farmers' goods are left unsold, rotting in the fields. There is an institution called TOKİ in this country. Since you have TOKİ, add a 'C' to it and include agriculture. If they build cold storage facilities, food depots, and silos in every province, the goods in the hands of the villagers and farmers would not go to waste, they would be collected there. Then, if a market law is passed... If the state guarantees to buy from farmers and producers at a minimum of 40% profit margin on your costs and turns the country into a production policy, a production economy, wouldn't inflation decrease in every sense? It would. When all of these support each other, the purchasing power of the money we provide will also increase, so people will live a peaceful, happy, and prosperous life. In other words, producing is actually the key to everything here."
