Cemal Enginyurt's assessment of the 5,000 lira bonus

AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan announced the amount of the holiday bonus for retirees at a rally held a few days ago, stating that the bonus rate had been increased to 3,000 lira with a 50 percent raise.

Stating that the cost of this increase to the budget was more than 300 billion lira and declaring that sacrifices were made for these figures, Erdoğan began to signal that there would be a change in the amount following intense criticism that the announced holiday bonus rate was insufficient.

Just 5 days after the announcement of 3,000 lira, it began to be rumored in leaked behind-the-scenes information that the bonus rate would be increased to 5,000 lira.

Economists, who say that the two-thousand-lira increase in question should be considered a kind of election investment, claimed that this increase would be announced by AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan as an 'election good news' shortly before the local elections.

STRIKING REACTION FROM CEMAL ENGİNYURT

Democrat Party Deputy Chairman and Istanbul MP Cemal Enginyurt made an assessment regarding the planned two-thousand-lira increase in the holiday bonus for retirees in a post on his social media account.

Evaluating this increase as an election game by Erdoğan, Enginyurt used the following expressions in his post:

Now a new game is being attempted to be staged.

While AKP Chairman Erdoğan was going to give a 3,000 TL bonus to #Retirees,

President Erdoğan is stepping in and will give 5,000 TL.

Continuing to mess with people's heads and distribute alms.

Are you giving fitra?

Damn your justice.
