Recently, the demand for a double raise in retirement salaries and minimum wage has come to the forefront. Economic difficulties are making it hard for citizens to maintain their living standards.

At the AKP's Kızılcahamam camp, attention was drawn to the widening gap between minimum wage and civil servant salaries. Some MPs argue that minimum wage should also be adjusted every 6 months like civil servant salaries.

High rents and food inflation are making life difficult for low-income citizens. While alternative solutions like hobby gardens are being discussed, the political implications of this situation are also under scrutiny.

Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan mentioned that a raise in minimum wage could be on the agenda. However, it is stated that this is challenging due to current economic conditions.

Citizens argue that the minimum wage should be at least 40,000 lira. High inflation and living costs are increasing the struggle for survival.

It is also emphasized that retirement salaries need to be increased. Many retirees express that they are struggling to make ends meet.
