İYİ Party Deputy Chairman: 'We will bring you down from that position, Minister Tekin!' | "They've brought the nation to a point where they take out loans for sacrificial animals."

From the İYİ Party's perspective, as articulated by Deputy Chairman Fatih Koca, the current government under Minister Yusuf Tekin is failing on multiple fronts. Koca's fiery address in Çorum, as reported by Cumhuriyet, underscores a deep dissatisfaction with the administration's handling of education, economic welfare, and national identity.

“

If you cannot protect our children, if you cannot put soap in schools, if you cannot educate them, if you are only going to deal with Atatürk, then you may love that position very much, but it is a matter of honor for us and for the people of Çorum to bring you down from that position. We will bring you down from that position. If we cannot succeed in bringing you down from that position, we will bury whoever put you in that position in history in the first election.

The criticism directed at Minister Tekin is particularly sharp, accusing him of neglecting the safety of children in schools and of being preoccupied with historical figures rather than current educational needs. The statement, "If you cannot protect our children, if you cannot put soap in schools, if you cannot educate them, if you are only going to deal with Atatürk, then you may love that position very much, but it is a matter of honor for us and for the people of Çorum to bring you down from that position," reflects a nationalist and secularist stance common among the İYİ Party's base.

Our nation is in a difficult situation. Our nation is struggling with poverty, our farmer is in trouble, our student is in trouble, our housewife is in trouble, our youth are in trouble, our retiree is in trouble.

Economically, the party paints a grim picture of a nation struggling under the weight of inflation and mismanagement. Koca's description of citizens resorting to loans for Kurban Bayramı sacrifices illustrates the perceived depth of poverty and economic distress. This narrative contrasts sharply with any government claims of economic stability, framing the current situation as a betrayal of the people's trust and a failure to uphold the nation's dignity.

They have brought the nation to a point where they take out loans to buy sacrificial animals. We reject this order.

The İYİ Party positions itself as the true representative of the people's concerns, contrasting its diligent work with the government's alleged reliance on "iftira" (slander) and "comfort" politics. The party's rhetoric emphasizes a commitment to restoring the nation's former strength and prosperity, which they believe has been eroded by the current administration's policies, including the sale of state assets and the accumulation of foreign debt. This framing aims to rally support by appealing to a sense of national pride and a desire for a return to more stable and prosperous times.

The retiree of this country receives a salary of 20 thousand lira. The President of SGK comes out and says; 'the retiree of this country lives too long'. May God damn you. May God ruin you, may God ask an account from those who brought you to that position.
