Kılıçdaroğlu: With the legal regulation we will make, the retirement holiday bonuses will never fall below the minimum wage.

CHP Chairman and Presidential Candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu posted a video on his Twitter account with the note ‘I don’t want you to always remember the past, I want you to live’. Kılıçdaroğlu addressed the retirees, saying, «My dear people, today I will call out to 15 million retirees, not all of you. Our people, who have worked for this country for years, paid premiums and added value, were confined to their homes due to economic pressure. Young people may not know, retirees used to buy a house with their bonuses in the past. Retirement was the reward of a life spent working. Now «The pensioner’s salary is not enough for the rent, he breaks down when he sees his grandson. Why? Because there is no pocket money to put in his pocket. If you remember, I fought two bonus battles for you. However, what was done was far, far behind what we said. Now I am here to tell you what we will do when we come to power.»

‘FROM NOW, HOLIDAY BONUS OF RETIRED PEOPLE IS 8 thousand 500 TL’

Referring to the holiday bonus given to retirees, Kılıçdaroğlu said, «My retired brothers, my good news is that you will get what you deserve. From now on, the holiday bonus of retirees is equal to the minimum wage, that is, 8 thousand 500 liras with the current amount, remember. Because this Ramadan Feast is also included, no wonder. Don’t do it. In addition to your 8 thousand 500 lira bonus on Eid al-Adha after you come to power, the difference of 6 thousand 500 liras for this Eid al-Fitr will be deposited in your accounts as an additional payment. Yes, I will pay retroactively. So the feast will be a double feast. As soon as I take office With the legal arrangement we will make, the retirement holiday bonuses will never fall below the minimum wage. I don’t feel comfortable talking only about grandchildren. I want you to live life as well. I want you to enjoy the short life you sacrificed for your loved ones, your family. In short, my retired brother; I promise you, I promise you «I will bring that spring to you too. I will have other surprises in these 40 days,» he said.
