Opinion leaders interpret strategy of AK Party: Are the “heralds” a sign of early elections?

According to some political experts, since the steps that the government would take in the economy would not have consequences, its strategy is based on the “victories” that can be won in the field of “security and international relations”.

President Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling spokesmen often say that steps will be taken to ease the rising cost of living and inflation  a great majority of working class (and alike) suffer currently.

An AKP Deputy Chairman also participated in a program on a television channel last night saying, “I think that in July, including our working pensioners, there will be a touch of close to 40 percent. In the same way, a touch on the minimum wage will be realized” – thus announcing the preparation of additional increases to the minimum wage in the coming months.

SIGNALS OF AN EARLY ELECTION?

Opposition parties consider measures such as “the preparation of an additional hike in the minimum wage, student amnesty, 3600 additional indicators, the introduction of age-related issues in retirement (EYT)” on the agenda of the government as “signs of an early election” in the fall.

COSMETIC MEASURES NOT A SOLUTION TO INFLATION AND COST OF LIVING

Noting that raising the wage levels, including the minimum wage, cannot be a solution to inflation and the cost of living, some opposition leaders say, “If wages increase, demand will increase and this will increase inflation. No matter what the government does, no matter who it puts in charge of the economy, it cannot recover the economy and get results. Because Erdogan personally runs the economy, and we see the results, thus achieved.”
