İYİ Party leader tells Bahçeli his call to reopen military hospitals is 'too little, too late'

İYİ Party leader Müsavat Dervişoğlu responded sharply to Devlet Bahçeli, the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), regarding the reopening of military hospitals. Bahçeli had recently called for these hospitals to be put back into service. Dervişoğlu pointed out that the İYİ Party had previously submitted legislative proposals to reopen these facilities. However, he stated that the ruling party either rejected these proposals or failed to bring them to the parliamentary agenda. "You cannot receive applause by correcting your mistake," Dervişoğlu remarked, implying that Bahçeli's call was belated and insufficient. He further commented, "They call this 'Good morning,' it's morning in Üsküdar," a Turkish idiom suggesting that the realization has come too late to be significant or impactful. Dervişoğlu's remarks highlight a political disagreement over healthcare policy and the handling of legislative initiatives in Turkey.
