In the meeting that lasted more than 4 hours, Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek objected to the statements that “the most important reason for the election defeat is the economy”. Şimşek said at the meeting, “The scapegoat is not just the economy. Besides the economy, there are also sociological and political reasons behind the election defeat.

Our main goal in the economic policy we implement is to fight against high inflation. It was stated that he said, “Purchasing power will not increase unless inflation decreases.” Following Şimşek’s assessment that the economic management implemented should “continue as it is”, Erdoğan stated that he “supported Şimşek” and “Continued the economic policy.” He is alleged to have replied, “The inflation target must be achieved and the society must be relieved.”

It is said that Erdoğan, who warned his staff about the “arrogance disease”, “also signaled that a change may occur in his party” and that “change may occur” not only in the AKP’s administration and cabinet, but also in the AKP’s provincial and district organizations. In the AKP lobbies, evaluations are also made that “Our President will put the blame on everyone responsible for the election.”
