The General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Yusuf Beyazıt. Before moving on to the agenda of the General Assembly, group proposals of political parties were discussed.
The New Path Party made a group proposal that the research proposal on "revealing the economic and social effects of the funding crisis, protecting especially economically vulnerable segments, determining the responsibilities of public institutions and determining the economic, financial and social measures that will minimize the negative consequences of the crisis" should be brought to the agenda and discussed today.
Speaking upon the proposal, New Path Party Ankara Deputy Mesut Doğan criticized the AKP's "Türkiye Century" discourse and described what happened as the "robbery of the century". Doğan stated that an investigation commission should be established regarding the funding crisis and called for the fight against corruption.
Doğan continued his speech as follows:
"An investigation commission will definitely be established; You will either fight this corruption properly, go after it, or go home in a hurry. There is no middle ground. Let me tell you just one photo about the Türkiye Century that you created. Look, what happened in this country in two days? On September 25, a retired police officer who served in the public sector committed suicide in front of the Constitutional Court, saying 'I cannot make ends meet'.
One of our people, who served this country in the most difficult arena for 30 years, committed suicide because he said 'I can't make ends meet'. One day later, it was revealed that a manager of the government who could not give that police officer his due earned 90 thousand times his salary in five months. "Don't forget that those who said 'no' to the investigation commission today are the murderers of that retired police officer who committed suicide."
"Isn't there a single person who will say 'I RESIGN'?"
NEW Party Istanbul Deputy Özgür Karabat argued that the citizens' money was wasted and said that they asked which institution was responsible and how much money would be collected within the scope of the liquidation, but they could not get a clear answer from the bureaucrats.
Karabat said the following in his speech:
"We asked all the bureaucrats last night, they all stated that they were innocent. We asked for a figure, but unfortunately not one of them could give the figure that a simple accounting office would give. 'How much money will you raise?' no answer. 'How much was given?' no answer. 'One person paid, there are three more,' said the Minister of Justice. 'Who were those three people and how much did they give?' no answer. We asked Takas Bank: 'Did you continue transactions after August 2028? Did you finance Tera Bank, Tera?'. The voice is a little low: 'Yes, we did'. 'How much did you pay?'. 'But we received a guarantee, 23 billion.' 'Is the collateral cash?', 'No, it is not', 'How much did you give?'.
Look at him red-handed: They gave 9 billion! When did they give it? After August 28, in September. To whom was this 9 billion given? Could this 9 billion be money going abroad? So, did any of those who did this resign? Has anyone been dismissed? "And isn't there a single person among you who would say 'I resign', my dear brothers?"
The proposal was rejected with the votes of AKP and MHP. After the talks, Deputy President Beyazıt took a 5-minute break from the meeting.
