Babacan: If our economy is growing, why only those around you get a share of the growth?

DEVA party chairman Babacan criticized the AKP government’s rhetoric about “growing the economy.” Babacan, on his social media account, said: “If our economy is growing as you claim, why are only those around you and those who already have money getting a share of this growth? Increase wages by adding the welfare share on top of it. of the real inflation difference, so that both workers, civil servants and retirees get their share of this growth.

Babacan’s speech in the video is as follows:

* “Now they ask me what the minimum wage should be, what the pension should be? And I’m like, ‘Let me give you the formula, it’s very simple.’ Because the number I said today will vanish at the end of the month. I say that; One, why are you waiting for the end of the month? If you’re going to do it, do it now, will someone hold your hand? Why didn’t you increase it in September or October since the money melted? Distraction. Suppose you upload on January 1st.

* The formula is simple. Take real, honest inflation and add a piece of welfare. We say ‘we have grown’… Let the national income get its share of this growth. Let our retirees get it, let our workers get it, everyone should buy it. This is just a figure that will protect your purchasing power.

* Here, don’t say ‘We have increased it as much as inflation, what more do you want’. Don’t just give your share of growth to those with money. They have done? They gave their part of the growth, those who had money; They received fixed income, salaried workers. They are constantly taking from the poor and giving to the rich, the graph is in the middle, this is the TURKSTAT data.” PHOENIX
