How much is the pension increase? What was the lowest pension?

The pension increase, which provides a chance to reduce the trouble of life a little, was increased three times in two days, but it could not cure the problems of citizens. The lowest pension, which is well below the minimum wage, will give citizens a hard time for the next 6 months.

HOW MUCH WILL MY RETIREMENT INCREASE?

While the salaries of civil servants and civil servants increased by 16.4 percent with the increase in the collective agreement and the inflation difference, the salaries of retirees from SSK and BAĞ-KUR increased by 15.4 percent.

President Erdoğan, who participated in the “Contracted Personnel Festival” program in Ankara, announced that there would be a 25 percent increase for civil servants and retirees. Erdoğan said:

According to the inflation rate announced for 2022, the rate of salary increase for civil servants would be 16.48 percent. This rate was 14 percent for retirees from SSK and Bağ-Kur. I’d like to break the good news that we will be implementing the pay increase rate for all of our retirees by 25 percent.

Speaking at his party’s group meeting, President Erdoğan announced that the rate of increase granted to civil servants and retirees was increased from 25 to 30 percent. The lowest pension was increased from 3,500 liras to 5,500 liras.

CITIZENS ARE DISHAPPED WITH THE RATE INCREASE

Retirees living in Ankara also spoke about their financial difficulties.

“WE MUST INCREASE AT LEAST 50 PERCENT OF THE SALARY”

Ünsal Gündoğdu said:

* “Last month I paid 937 liras for natural gas, this month it is 1,227 liras. The public should compare it. People must come to the conclusion that the given increases have no effect. There is silence in the whole society. Some sectors of society are in poverty. 3 of us, rental house; I pay 2 thousand odd liras for natural gas, electricity, water. Their standard of living is low.”

Gündoğdu stated that the pension should be increased at the rate that will be made to the minimum wage. Gündoğdu said: “I think of those who have no other job than me, and those who cannot bring home bread. So let this standard be reflected in others. In my opinion, it should be at least 50 percent, ”he said.

“DO NOT DECREASE THE VALUE OF MY MONEY, I WANT IT”

The retired worker, who said that he retired from the Turkish Electricity Authority, also spoke as follows:

* “It is not enough in these conditions, but we still say that it is enough. Under these conditions, it is not enough to give 50 percent instead of 15 percent. Inflation has reached 80 percent and 100 percent in the market, you hire workers, officials, employees, you give an increase of 15 percent, as if to make fun of you. Is that enough, for them to know it themselves?

* The increase is not important, I want the value of my money not to drop. That value my money, I want it. Even if you give me a 50 percent or 100 percent raise right now, it’s not valid. The market does not stop, the money has run out. It’s over a thousand on my bills.

* I bought the fish 2 months ago and I never saw it again, and the meat is 50, 100 grams… We cannot buy it by weight as before. I am comfortable at the moment, but my comfort is not important, the country, the poor and the poor, everyone should be comfortable.

“MUST BE AT LEAST 50-60 PERCENT”

A retired worker named Yusuf Yiğiter said that he received a salary of around 5 thousand lira and said:

* “We are in trouble, I expect a very high increase, it should be at least 50-60 percent. Because the pension is very low. The situation of retirees is very bad. If we do not see meat, but if we cut it from victim to victim, we see the meat of the sacrifice.

* We only hear their names, we cannot see them. That money, electricity, water, the telephone, natural gas is not enough for both of them. PHOENIX
