Why It Matters
In Diyarbakır, citizens form long queues in front of the Meat and Milk Institution to buy cheap meat.
NEW Party Diyarbakır Deputy Sezgin Tanrıkulu, in his statement in front of the Meat and Milk Institution in Diyarbakır's Kayapınar district, said that citizens, mostly retired, queued up from 05.00, and after receiving a voucher at 08.30, they could buy meat from 09.30.
Tanrıkulu also stated that not everyone waiting in line could buy meat and said:
"Because here, minced meat costs 400 liras per kilo, and cubed meat costs 450 liras per kilo. We live in a time when the lowest pension is 23 thousand liras and the minimum wage is 28 thousand liras. Our retired citizens queue up at 5 in the morning for 1 kilo of ground meat. In order to buy meat for 300-400 liras cheaper. This shows how our citizens, our retirees, are impoverished, what their purchasing power is. "This is a clear indication of the decline. They stay in line for 4-5 hours to buy 1 kilo of minced meat or 1 kilo of cubed meat. Despite this, not all of them can buy meat. I am sharing this table with you to show the point where the Justice and Development Party has brought Türkiye."
