Let me sayit upfront:

For the vehiclesused under the roof of theGrand National Assembly of Turkey, we will purchase 13 million kilometers worth of fuel, enough to travel to the Moon 33 times.However,

first let'sLet's read the expenses:

499 out of 593 members of parliament receive both a retired MP pension and an active MP salary.

For the year 2026,the MP salaryhas risen to 273,196 TL.The retired MP pension

has become 177,658 TL.This is the breakdown.

Those who have retired but continue to serve as members of parliament receive 450,000 TL.

We pay 224 million 550 thousand TL in salaries every month.

Furthermore, for the remaining 94 deputies who have notyet retired,we makea monthly payment of 25 million 756 thousand TLto them.

In total, 250 million 306 thousand TL every month.

In other words, 593 people are receiving the equivalent of 13,200 pensions every month.

That is 3 billion 3 million 672 thousand TL per year.

3 billion TL might seem like a small amount when reading it.

AKP Şanlıurfa Deputy Bekir Bozdağ announced in a post on his X account that 1.4 billion TL in investments were realized in Şanlıurfa in 2025.realizedinannounced.

In 2026, we will pay members of parliament salaries totaling twice the amount invested in Şanlıurfa in a single year. We willpay.

It is not just about the salaries, either.

There are 292 vehicles used by the administration of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) Presidency.

We will purchase 1.3 million liters of fuel for these vehicles in 2026.

I am calling out to my friends who buy 50 liras worth of fuel.

We will fill the deputies' fuel tanks 26,000 times.

So that the tanks are filled and the wheelskeep turning, we will pay 59 million 410 thousand TLin fuel costs. We willpay.

The Moon's DIts distance to the Earthis 384,400 km.

With the fuel we provide for the deputies, thedistance they could travel on Earth is 13 million kilometers.

You could go to the Moon 33 times.

What didBerat Albayrak say; "If we said we would build a 4-lane highway to the Moon, they would believe it".

Now I have started to believe.
