Saadet Party reacts to AKP over pension: 'Pensioner Chef is starting'

The Saadet Party showed a sharp reaction on social media to the 20,000 TL minimum pension announced by the AKP. Following the announcement by AKP's Abdullah Güler that the lowest pension would be 20,000 TL, the Saadet Party expressed its reaction by stating that this amount remains well below the hunger threshold, which is set at 30,000 TL.

"TURKEY'S MOST REALISTIC SURVIVAL COMPETITION, PENSIONER CHEF, IS STARTING"

The Saadet Party expressed its reaction through a video published on its social media account. In the video, referencing the popular television program MasterChef, it was stated, "Turkey's most realistic survival competition, Pensioner Chef, is starting." This title was a jab highlighting the difficulty of living on a 20,000 TL pension.

"THE REWARD FOR 40 YEARS OF LABOR FITS ON THIS COUNTER"

In the video shared by the party, a retired chef remarked, "The reward for 40 years of labor fits on this counter. Today's special is patience soup. The main ingredient is half a dry onion, the garnish is stale bread. The menu for the remaining 29 days is unknown," making a point about how deeply low pensions exacerbate the struggle to make a living.

SARCASTIC REACTION WITH "IMAGINARY MEATBALLS"

Another 'contestant' criticized the inadequacy of the pensions in a humorous way, saying, "My signature dish today is ghost meatballs. There is no meat in it, just the scent I caught while passing by the butcher. And if God wills it, water from the tap to go with it."
