Appearing on tv100's Ana Haber with Kübra Par, Dağ made important assessments regarding current issues.
"THE PROCESS HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR A LONG TIME"
Millions of minimum wage earners are wondering about the raise that will come at the beginning of the year. Providing important statements on the subject, Dağ said, "The process regarding this matter has been clear for a long time. The Minimum Wage Determination Commission will begin its meetings next week. Increases have been made with a management approach aimed at not letting them be crushed by inflation. In 2021-22-23, and there, our President also intervened at the Ministry level. The parties will talk. The point we will look at is not to let the employees be crushed by inflation.
"IT WOULD NOT BE VERY APPROPRIATE"
Rather than the amount of the minimum wage, the increase we make based on the minimum wage, and the fact that the salary increase rates of others who receive income above the minimum wage are also determined accordingly, means that both they must not be crushed by inflation and employers must not be faced with such a burden. It would not be very appropriate for me to give a figure."
"A NURSERY IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD"
"The citizen does not care whether it was opened by the CHP or the AK Party. We have been reporting for days that Turkey is at the bottom in OECD averages. We want a nursery in every neighborhood, both for working mothers and for their children," he said.
"WE WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE"
Speaking about the municipal nurseries that are intended to be closed, Dağ said, "This is not something that cannot be agreed upon. I am also questioning why the CHP did not submit a legislative proposal on this issue while they submit legislative proposals on every other subject. We will do the work if necessary. We will solve this issue," he said.
"IT WAS THE OPPOSITION WHOSE ROUTINE WAS DISRUPTED"
Making important statements regarding the İmralı–DEM meeting process, Dağ said, "What is important here is to be able to carry this process forward. In fact, it was the opposition whose routine was disrupted here. Especially the CHP expressed this issue as raising the stakes. It is also remarkable that a political party leader who is a candidate for state administration would make such a shallow and simple move," he said.
