Those who see the price rebel: We are crying now

The rising prices day by day caused both the public and the merchants to revolt. While the citizens who go to the public market return empty-handed, the merchants of the district market complain about the high prices and the daily price increases.

“The GRAPE 25, THE MEAT 350 TL?”

Menderes Uyar, who has been in the market for 30 years, said:

Things are expensive, thank goodness. Vegetables, meat, sausage, chicken are expensive, everything is very expensive. Citizens’ goods are also expensive, and the vegetables we sell are also expensive. Now he took out EYT, he made people retire at the age of 43-45. This requires a cost, if you make people retire at the age of 45, this nation, the state cannot afford it. After that, he gave everything a raise, you gave everything a raise, but these people can’t get it.

* Raised the minimum wage, but those who employed workers could not work. After that, the man who employs 10 workers, his insurance will be paid, everything to give him food is expensive. Would the grapes be 30 lire? The prices for cherries are normal 25 lira, but the meat would be 350 TL and the meat 350 TL? A chicken wing costs 150 lira.

* It is constantly increasing and never stops, this order cannot be like this. He brought Afghans here, I just found out that Afghans don’t pay for electricity either. You don’t pay for water, you don’t pay for natural gas, brother.

Criticize the AKP, for which I VOTE

*Good and nice, but the man has 6-7 children, we cannot take care of 3 children. How will this be such an order? Each one must go to his own country, our country is enough for us. I voted for the AK Party, there is no lie.

*Personally, I was not going to join the AK Party this year, our deputies did not work. Needless to say, all the choices were made from here entirely, but they still didn’t do a job.

“WE ARE CRYING NOW WE ARE CRYING WHAT TO DO”

Trader Hatice Kıllı reacted to the cost of living, saying:

*I am 62 years old, we do not have an order. We sell well, badly, today the market has no taste, that’s how we sit. My son brought the Manisa grapes, burned 5,500 TL of diesel and sells it for 40 lira.

* I’m not going to lie, but save. It is not for sale, we are waiting for it, the citizens cannot buy it. When they say 40 lire, they leave without buying. When you give less than 40 lira, you don’t save your expenses. The boy who burned 5,500 TL will sell it for 40 lira, and he can’t sell it either.

* Things are getting worse. Bread cost 6 lire, cigarettes 42 lire, diesel was very expensive. We are crying now we are crying what are we going to do? There is no buyer or seller.

*A kilo of tomato costs 25 lira, a kilo of cucumber costs 40 lira. What would you say to the poor? How can he take it? Even I can’t take it.

“THINGS THAT EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE 600 LIRA”

Citizen Murat Karadağ, who came to the market to buy, said: “This market cart costs 600 lira and more. We have normal needs, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, fruits, some vegetables, we do not buy anything extra on top of normal daily needs. Normal things, these are 600 lira and above, they are things that every family should have in the kitchen to eat. The prices are really high. We are seeing really high prices with the rise of the dollar and the euro. Keep it up, it doesn’t look like it’s going to fall. The economy now needs to expand a bit more. If prices go like this, the situation looks bad,” he said.

“THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE CUSTOMER DECREASED”

A market trader who said he sells cheese said: “I sell cheese, I have been in business for about 25 years. Cheese prices are currently rising due to milk prices, so they weren’t reflected in my prices too much. For example, the cheese we gave for 90 liras became 100 liras, lamb cheese for 120 liras, it became 130. Eggs were 60 liras, they became 70 liras. An increase has arrived, but a small increase. Customer purchasing power has also decreased. If people are gaining a kilo now it is half a kilo, if they are gaining 2 kilos it has dropped to 1 kilo, but purchasing power has decreased. The market is going slow right now, there is no extreme situation,” he said. (AA)
