Emre Tiftik, the Deputy Chairman of the Youth Branch, highlighted the impact of the minimum wage on young people. He expressed that Turkey is being turned into a country where "labor is cheap, and living is expensive."

Erdener Doğan Işık, the President of Kadıköy Youth Branch, pointed out child labor, stating that children are forced to work at an early age due to poverty. He emphasized that this leads to workplace fatalities.

Finally, Caner Sarıtaş, the District Chairman of CHP Kadıköy, stated that the minimum wage is a right and that they will continue to fight until this right is achieved. The protest ended with slogans.
