Recently, the spending habits of AKP municipalities have drawn attention. While citizens are urged to save amid an economic crisis, such expenditures spark controversy.

Mehmet Canpolat, the mayor of Haliliye, spent 245 thousand TL to purchase 100 prayer beads and boxes to gift during visits. This spending contradicts the calls for savings.

Additionally, the municipality purchased coffee and teapot sets worth 611 thousand TL in February 2025. These expenditures have sparked significant public backlash.

The spending of AKP mayors contradicts the government's calls for savings, creating a sense of injustice among citizens.
