Erdogan’s government cuts electricity and gas to half a million Turkish families

Turkey is experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis, due to the policies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that deplete state resources to finance its foreign military interventions, the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, in addition to the fall of the Turkish currency to its lowest levels.

It seems that many governments are applying policies for their interests, and people pay the tax … a title that sums up what is happening with half a million families in Turkey, where their electricity and natural gas were cut off.

The reason is the debt, according to the Turkish Minister of Energy and Resources, Fatih Donmaz, during his interrogation in Parliament.

The minister, from his point of view, considered that the imbalance is due to the way in which the debt crisis facing the poorest countries is being faced, and demands that the World Bank take measures to delay the payment of the debt , reduce debt, restructure debt and transparency.

The omissions of the Energy Minister, a member of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), were not compatible with the vision of some parliamentarians opposed to Erdogan and his government.

A deputy of Parliament blamed the Erdogan government for cutting off energy sources to half a million families, and considered that the problem is that the Turkish president does not put the problems of citizens on his list of priorities.

The World Bank placed Turkey on the list of countries to top the list with the highest external debt, and here lies a great paradox, according to observers.

The Erdogan government spends large sums and allocations to implement its agenda on various issues in the region and the eastern Mediterranean, while it cannot pay off debts or stop the great decline of the Turkish lira.
