How Mehmet Şimşek's economic program was disrupted by political reflexes and the grouping within the government are discussed.
AI-generated summary
It is argued that AKP has been in power since its establishment and has been in power for a long time. Political interventions during the appointment of Mehmet Şimşek as minister of finance and the implementation of his economic program are discussed.
When Erdoğan and his friends founded the AKP, he said, "We took off the national view shirt." Does anyone know what shirt AKP is wearing today?
Please remember statements such as "Our headscarved sisters are being oppressed", "Imam Hatip students are not allowed to become police officers or soldiers". At this point, poor children are again running for these duties due to unemployment, hopelessness and desolation. AKP members are now interested in other areas.
Long rule wore out those in power. His own observations, which were reflected in the press after the fund grab, are as follows: If we were to bathe in 40 bathhouses, the smell would not disappear in 100 years.
AKP is divided into groups within itself. Don't ask how many groups there are, because they can't count themselves. We will not talk about the ministers who lost the bodies of their poor children to the machines with the MESEM application, or the parrot memorizers who ruined relations even with Azerbaijan with their Islamist ideologies. We will try to touch upon a dimension of the economy that directly affects citizens' pockets and kitchens.
The economic management, which turned to "irrational" practices in the run-up to the last general election, changed slightly after the election. A little attention... "Nas economy" would be made "rational", in Mehmet Şimşek's words.
Let's take a look at what has happened since Şimşek was last appointed. He announced a program and raised interest rates. Just as interest rates were starting to decline, political reflexes came into play, apart from economic logic, and İmamoğlu was arrested. Indicator interest rate returned to where it came from, Şimşek's program lost a year. The economy has collapsed due to municipal operations that continue with illegal practices.
While Şimşek announced that there were irregularities in some funds in the stock market, after a while Cevdet Yılmaz said that the financial markets were "in good shape".
Kılıçdaroğlu's appointment as the head of the CHP by court decision sent interest rates skyrocketing again. Because there is no law, law...
Then the Iran war and the explosion of fund profiteering. There is now at most a year until the election. The economy is badly damaged. Most of the top administrators of the government are still far from understanding the situation. They say, “The chief can do something.” A few people are writing about the “recovery” formula on social media.
Meanwhile, Mehmet Şimşek gave important information between the lines while speaking at the GNAT Plan Budget Commission for the budget of his ministry. When you watch the process and look at his speech in the commission, it becomes clear that Şimşek's authority in the cabinet is very, very limited. There is an impression that Şimşek was appointed to this position only "to please the international markets". In the last three years, the atmosphere of "We do what we know" has continued despite Şimşek. Well, what will be the losses of major international banks in Destek Finans Faktoring and the Norwegian Wealth Fund in the stock market? How will those who bring money to the Turkish market be convinced after this process? Where will the arrests and resignations reach, will they convince? What about the people?
