Bolat shared photos from the shopping trip he took to break the boycott call initiated by citizens.

Journalist Metin Cihan, who examined the photo shared by Bolat, revealed that the product purchased was not 'domestic' and is on the boycott list prepared in support of Palestine.

Minister of Trade Ömer Bolat shared photos of himself shopping on his social media account in response to the consumption boycott call, stating, “We visited tradespeople to show our solidarity against the calls made by some opposition segments intended to harm our country, our trade, our tradespeople, and our producers.”

Journalist Metin Cihan revealed in a post on social media that the product Minister Bolat purchased was not 'domestic' and is on the boycott list prepared in support of Palestine.

Cihan's post is as follows:

“Look at the shamelessness.

I looked at the product he bought. İçimino. It is produced by Ak Gıda. This company is the country's largest milk producer but has been sold to the French company Lactalis. He is trying to pass it off as domestic and national.

It doesn't end there.

Lactalis supports Israel and is being boycotted by friends of Palestine.”
