CHP Group Vice President Ali Mahir Başarır made significant statements regarding the 2026 budget. The budget is claimed to support investment and employment, but the reality is different.

Başarır pointed out the loss of agricultural land and the increase in unemployment rates. There are 12 million unemployed, threatening the country's economic structure.

He responded to the government, which claims to increase the capacity to meet the needs of the people with a human-centered approach. The situation of retirees and minimum wage earners is dire.

The projected income and expenditure figures for the 2026 budget are striking. Income is set at 16 trillion, while expenditure is expected to be 18 trillion lira, which will likely increase the budget deficit.
