Özgür Özel: The daily increase given to retirees does not allow us to drink even a bowl of soup!

Speaking after the EMEK Party visit, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel said the following:

He is increasing the price of natural gas by 25 percent and rent by 42 percent. He is increasing the price of civil servant retirees by 15 percent. On the same day... Bağkur announced a 16.6 percent increase for retirees, the lowest retirement salary is 16 thousand 881... If the normal inflation rate is applied, it would be 16 thousand 879... He gave 2 TL welfare share. As the law says, inflation plus welfare share... With the 80 lira daily increase he gave to retirees, it is not possible to drink 1 bowl of lentil soup. It is the first time in the history of Anatolian civilizations that a salary increase of less than 1 bowl of soup has been seen.
