The public austerity package introduced by the economic administration has brought criticism along with it.
In particular, the decision to eliminate shuttle services for public personnel drew significant backlash.
The Republican People's Party (CHP) also reacted to the announced austerity package. CHP Party Spokesperson and Deputy Chairman Deniz Yücel stated, "The main goal is to make the leading party CHP municipalities unable to function."
