AKP's Külünk points to 2025, says 'the pressure of the ballot box will increase': Gives example of economic divide

As the 'early election' debate continues in politics, former AKP MKYK member Metin Külünk made a statement during a live broadcast he attended.

"If the country does not experience economic relief in 2025, the pressure of the ballot box will increase," said Külünk, stating that the debates regarding the economy and justice must be brought to an end.

Külünk made notable remarks during a live broadcast on EKOL TV.

Stating, "If the country does not experience economic relief in 2025, the pressure of the ballot box will increase," Külünk added, "Do not let statistical figures deceive you. Our nation's dining tables need to be relieved. They must see this. On the other hand, the debates over justice must be ended."

Highlights from Külünk's statement:

"THE PRESSURE OF THE BALLOT BOX WILL INCREASE"

"If the country does not experience economic relief in 2025, the pressure of the ballot box will increase. The person who will decide whether to go to an early election under these conditions is our President himself. He has his own leadership arithmetic. He does his calculations and makes his decision accordingly. My friends in Ankara, the streets are not as you see them. Do not let statistical figures deceive you. Our nation's dining tables need to be relieved. They must see this. On the other hand, the debates over justice must be ended.

The citizen bears the burden during the country's most difficult moments, lies down in front of the tank, and is willing to give up their comfort zone so that this country can be better. But the segment that controls a large portion of the wealth in Turkey will not put their hands under the stone. They will jump up when a wealth tax is mentioned. Is it possible for an elderly couple to make a living with 15 thousand TL in Istanbul?

"SPOILED PEOPLE WHO PAY 10 THOUSAND TL FOR COFFEE"

One day I left the house, and a 70-year-old lady stopped me. She opened her hand, showed me her shopping bag, and said, 'Look, I bought 7 pears.' On one side, there is a lady who can only buy 7 pears, and on the other side, there are spoiled people who pay 10 thousand TL for coffee for 5-6-7 people in the luxury restaurants and cafes where they sit. These spoiled people have a capital obligation to this country regarding their sources of capital.

Instead of placing the entire burden on the 50-60 percent segment of the population, I said, 'Capital should be brought in.'"
