AKP Adana MP Ahmet Zenbilci has resigned from his party. It turns out his son was arrested for a drug-related crime and, furthermore, was caught while transporting the drugs in a vehicle registered to his father, the MP. In his resignation statement, the MP claimed he did not want his party to be harmed, as if he were doing them a favor.
In such a situation, is it enough to just resign from the party?
Will this individual continue to remain an MP and enjoy a privileged life?
Unfortunately, one of Turkey's bad traditions is that politicians are not held accountable.
Regrettably, no politician receives punishment for their actions.
A minister comes out and makes illicit gains by selling goods to their own ministry, and they face no penalty.
Another person gets their son-in-law released from prison in a single day, and no one asks why.
Another's offspring gets involved in events you wouldn't even imagine, and receives zero punishment.
There is even more; a mother goes on television and says, "So-and-so killed my son," and names politicians, yet no one investigates, asks, or questions it; everyone is in "I didn't hear, I didn't see" mode.
When things are like this, everyone in the country ignores rules and laws, thinking, "It will stay with me anyway."
CHAIN MARKETS FUELING INFLATION
The Minister of Finance is breathing down the necks of small shopkeepers, telling people to report those who don't use credit cards, but no one is looking at the chain markets that are fueling inflation.
Here are two examples for you:
A large market chain was selling insect repellent at the beginning of summer for 100 liras; now that summer is over, they have lowered the price to 50 liras. So, the question that comes to mind is this:
At what price did this market buy this product to be able to cut the price in half and still sell it?
If they bought it for even less than 50 liras, isn't their profit margin exorbitant? In other words, aren't they the ones driving up prices and creating inflation?
One more example: Another market chain has put cat and dog food on sale but has imposed a limit of 10 units per customer because pet shops were buying the products they were selling cheaply. Again, the same question: Since you are discounting the price of a product to the point where it is cheap even for pet shops, what percentage of profit were you adding to it before?
Aren't all of these causes of inflation?
If the Minister of Finance wants to lower inflation, he must also take action against chain markets that sell goods at exorbitant prices.
