REACTION FROM ÖZGÜR ÖZEL
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel reacted to the announced pension figures, stating, "The lowest pension should be the minimum wage."
Özel's post is as follows:
"Tayyip Erdoğan declared 2024 the 'Year of Pensioners.'
However, he has condemned pensioners to hunger. Both the additional raise announced by Erdoğan and the level to which he has raised the lowest pension are insufficient. Pensioners cannot be condemned to this.
The lowest pension should be the minimum wage."
