Budget session at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey: 4 ministries to present

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) enters the new week with a busy agenda in both the General Assembly and its committees. In the General Assembly, deliberations will continue on the Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Foundations and Certain Other Laws.

Opposition parties have characterized the proposal as a "handout law," continuing their harsh criticism on the grounds that "cultural spaces belonging to municipalities will be opened up to partisan foundations." Ten articles of the 19-article regulation were approved last week.

TAX PACKAGE ON THE AGENDA

Following the completion of the Law on Foundations amendment in the General Assembly, it is planned to move on to the deliberations of the Draft Law on Amendments to Tax Laws, Certain Other Laws, and Decree-Law No. 631, known publicly as the "tax package."
