Last Minute… Message from Erdoğan about ‘regulatory pensions’: ‘We will discuss it again’ – Last Minute Politics, Economy News

President of AKP Recep Tayyip ErdoganHe made statements at the Bursa rally held 3 days before the March 31 elections.

The highlights of Erdoğan’s speech are as follows:

“This city is a living example of our ancestors’ understanding of civilization. I would like to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your support in the May 14-28 elections. We will never forget the covenant loyalty that Bursa did not spare from us. I asked, how much is the turnout in Bursa today? 90 thousand. There is no stopping. Now Here, together with Bursa, we are preparing for the Turkey Century. Bursa has no business with empty talk and lies. Bursa looks at service, looks at investment, looks at action.

We are planning to join hands with our mayors and open a new era for Bursa. Are we ready to paint the entire map of Turkey, including Bursa, in the colors of the People’s Alliance? Hopefully, we will have the national will holiday on March 31st before the Ramadan holiday comes.

Those who have become blind and deaf in the face of Muslim blood flowing in Gaza, rest assured that they will do the same thing if a similar disaster befalls us tomorrow. At a time when we were at odds with Russia and terrorist organizations were not at our border, Western countries took away our air defense systems in our southern cities. We managed to overcome the difficulties of that day with our own strength. Whatever step we took in Syria, Libya, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, we found a global alliance. We united with our nation and broke all these traps one by one. We eliminated some traps on the streets, as on July 15. New arguments and tactics come into play in every period. Rest assured, challenging times await us again. We have to continue our efforts to make these lands our homeland and to keep our homeland in our hands.

HE TARGETED THE OPPOSITION AGAIN

This is the truth that our country’s opposition does not understand. They do not hesitate to lay dynamite under the interests of our nation. For this purpose, they do not hesitate to wink at FETO, PKK and imperialists. All kinds of dirty deals are afoot on the opposition side. They form a dark alliance, but they are ashamed of it and go to great lengths to hide it. The state of inconsistency, drift and contamination that our country’s largest opposition party has fallen into is truly shameful. Suitcases, bags full of dollars, euros. They can’t even count them. No one can explain the counting images. Those who raise a fuss against us turn into good cats against the CHP.

‘RETIREMENT’ STATEMENT

At the beginning of the year, we increased minimum wages and pensions by 50 percent. We made a one-time payment of 5 thousand TL. Now, we have increased bank promotions to 8-12 thousand TL and provided a new opportunity to our retirees. Next July, we will discuss pensions again according to the inflation in the first 6 months of the year. We will eliminate the injustice in the number of premium days for small tradesmen and take steps accordingly in the coming period. We will follow up and fulfill the promises we made to different segments of our nation. We need to continue the economic program with determination and ensure price stability. We will see inflation start to decline in the second half of the year. We will bring our retirees and employees to the level of welfare they deserve. We did not ignore the promises we made yesterday because we do not remember them today. We never made promises we couldn’t keep. We did not hesitate to implement steps regarding retirement that we were not comfortable with, upon requests. We shared the cost of the interim increase for retirees with our nation. “Those who rant against you will not be able to cure your problems.”
