Millions of EYT members are waiting for the related law to be tabled in Parliament as soon as possible, but the budget marathon continues in Parliament. First of all, even if 1.5 million EYT members retire with a monthly salary of 3,500 lira, 146 billion lira a year is required. However, not a penny was invested in the EYT budget.

So what did the authorities say about EYT in the last week? Here are those statements:

WORST…

Chairman and Chairman of the AKP, Recep Tayyip Erdogan (November 28): We will complete the work on those who have completed their retirement year and are waiting for the age requirement and temporary workers as soon as possible and announce them to the public.

Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu, Vice President of the AKP Group (November 29th): The following is the situation of our EYT brothers. With the legal regulation of contracted personnel and EYT members, we will witness that our promises are fulfilled one by one. In the worst case, we will all witness its enactment in early 2023.

WE LOOK LIKE “IF THERE WAS NO AGE REQUIREMENT”

Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labor and Social Security (November 30): We have come a long way, we will present the work to Parliament in December. There are three criteria in the pension system: number of premium days, year and age. There are those who fill the other two conditions and wait for age. We looked at how many people could retire today if there were no age requirement. Their number varies from month to month. The June numbers were just over 1.5 million. Tomorrow, this number may be 1.6 million, 1.7 million, or by the end of December, it may be around 2 million, which will be considered when Parliament passes the law, or it may change. We are doing a study that takes them into account.

TOMORROW MAY INCREASE A LOT

– In other words, the number of people who can retire after fulfilling two conditions is around 1.6 million. It could be a little higher tomorrow. We are making arrangements for them. I’m talking about those who could retire if there was no age requirement. If not, I don’t know, there are 40-year-olds. The features of most of them, apart from the number I mentioned, is the lack of premium days and years. We do not make any changes to those two conditions. The process continues. We will share the scope of the regulation with the public once our work is complete.

THERE IS A BUDGET MARATHON

Numan Kurtulmus, Vice President of the AKP (December 1st): This is an issue that directly concerns our 1 million 900 thousand and so many citizens. Now we come to the last point, with the adjustments, taking into account the calendar of the Assembly with a certain time, you know, there is a budget marathon, that calendar will also be taken into account.

80 PERCENT WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING

Özgür Burak Akkol, President of the Turkish Confederation of Employers’ Associations (December 1st): We believe that we need solutions that meet the expectations of employees and companies at the same time regarding EYT. In our survey of employees within the scope of EYT in July and August, 80 percent of the participants want to continue their business life.

THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE SSI PREMIUM

– If you employ a retired person, there is a cost increase in SGK. This is a risk to both continued employment and employers. We’ve been talking about this issue for a few months. Minister Çavuşoğlu had delivered the good news on this issue in a closed-door meeting last week and confirmed it today. The SGK premium difference between retirees and non-retirees will be eliminated. Therefore, the employment relationship will continue at no additional cost to employers.

IT HAS REACHED THE FINAL STAGE

Ömer Çelik, vice president of the AKP and party spokesman (December 2): The problem we inherited from the previous period. Our citizens with EYT have demands. He has expectations of the elimination of the problems he has suffered over the years. You have to work at it to find the optimal point. As a result, it was put on the agenda. Our President has shown his willingness to solve it. The ministry has done its job, it has reached the final stage.

CREDIT PACKAGE FOR SENIORITY SEVERANCE

Nureddin Nebati, Minister of Finance and Finance (December 2): Our Ministry of Treasury and Finance has begun preparations for a loan package that will enable our employers to cover the severance pay burden they will face with Treasury-backed KGF guarantees with appropriate financing terms.
