The sketch from Güldür Güldür has become reality: Pro-government Yeni Akit's perception management of the year

While citizens are struggling with the cost of living due to the economic crisis, prices for everything from pins to needles are rising every day.

The 30 percent misery raise given to the minimum wage saw prices on shelves increase before the money even entered the citizens' pockets.

In Afyonkarahisar, the weight of bread sold for 10 TL was reduced from 260 to 220 grams to avoid a price increase. With this change, the price of bread per kilogram rose from 38 liras to 45 liras.

The pro-government Yeni Akit's website published the news in question with a headline that drew backlash.

Citizens reacted to the news, which was presented with the headline "Transition to healthy living... Bread weight reduced in one province", by saying, "If the weight of the bread is reduced but the price is not, this is a 'price hike'", "If the weight is being reduced for health reasons, why isn't the price reduced by the same proportion?", "Perception management of the year".
