NEW Party member Ersever's proposal for an investigation commission for the funding crisis: 'Whoever is affected should be dealt with'

NEW Party Ankara Deputy Aliye Timisi Ersever made statements regarding the fund crisis at the General Assembly of the Parliament. He started his speech by saying, "The fund profiteering showed once again that AKP's policies are rotten and this rot has spread everywhere. This profiteering showed one more thing: how illegality and plunder can be covered up if it touches the government. You arrest mayors with secret witness statements, with insufficient evidence, and raid their homes before dawn, but when it comes to fund profiteering, when it touches the AKP, you slow down; you arrest a few people with public pressure and try to close the file." Ersever reminded that CMB decided to liquidate 131 investment funds on September 17, and hundreds of thousands of investors were affected by this decision. Stating that these people include retirees, employees and parents, Ersever stated that these people think about the future of their children.

'WHY COULD THE PRECAUTIONS NOT PREVENT IT?'

Speaking about how this point was reached, Ersever said, "The CMB's statement is clear, it was seen in the last quarter of 2025 that some funds caused price movements that could not be explained due to economic reasons. The issue was discussed in the Financial Stability Committee under the Chairmanship of Mehmet Şimşek on December 2, 2025, and a recommendation decision was made to take measures, so you cannot say "We were not aware of it." You established a working group, asked for opinions, made regulations. Well, the measures you took for months caused this crisis. "Both CMB and Borsa Istanbul were involved in this process. Now we are asking both of them: Why couldn't you protect the citizens' savings even though you saw the danger? Why were the control mechanisms not implemented in time? It is the duty of this Parliament to get answers to these questions."

'WOULD HE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IF THERE WAS NO PRESSURE?'

Stating that the duty of the state is not to make a statement after the crisis occurs, but to protect the citizens' savings before the crisis occurs, Ersever said, "Would Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya have been arrested if it had not been for the opposition and public pressure? No. It is claimed that ministers and members of parliament are also included in the list of fund profiteers. Now, your duty is not to suppress this allegation by shouting, but to explain everything, to reveal the issue in full detail. Whoever is involved in this profiteering and plunder should be disclosed, whoever is touched by it should be dealt with, and the citizens' money should not be spent." "The audit should also be held accountable. An investigation commission should be established as soon as possible to reveal such a huge emphasis. Remember, protecting the criminal is being an accomplice to the crime," he said.
