Ultimatum-like move against AKP: MHP deputy lists problems to Minister Işıkhan and demands 'solutions'

MHP Deputy Mustafa Kalaycı demanded that Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan, who was presenting his budget at the TBMM Planning and Budget Committee, find solutions to problems in many areas.

The 2025 budget of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security was discussed at the TBMM Planning and Budget Committee.

After Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan presented his budget, an unexpected move came from Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Konya Deputy Mustafa Kalaycı.

As reported by Erdoğan Süzer from Sözcü, the points raised by MHP's Kalaycı, which served as an ultimatum to the AKP government, were as follows:

Minimum wage earners: The net minimum wage should be raised above the hunger threshold, and transportation and housing support should be provided to minimum wage earners, especially in metropolitan cities.

Retirement pensions: Salary increases for all retirees should be determined according to the same principles.

Unemployed in every family: Regulations should be made to grant premium support and retirement rights to housewives, and to provide job opportunities for one person from every unemployed family.

Severance pay security: A severance pay system should be established in which the acquired rights of workers are guaranteed.

Merit: You must introduce a personnel regime that takes objectivity and merit as a basis for entry into public service, as well as for advancement and promotion.

Work accidents: All kinds of measures should be taken to ensure occupational health and safety in accordance with modern standards, and inspections should be made more effective.

Premium evaders: SGK receivables should be pursued more effectively, a relentless fight should be waged against gangs in the healthcare sector, and the list of those who do not pay their premium debts should be published.
