Saadet Party Leader Arıkan: Anti-Corruption Ministry Proposed and Criticized Economic Triangle

Saadet Party leader Temel Arıkan announced plans to establish an 'Anti-Corruption Ministry' and conduct legal reviews of property increases among former officials, MPs, and high-ranking bureaucrats, emphasizing transparency in public procurement. Arıkan highlighted Turkey's global dependencies across sectors from finance to defense, advocating for an independent role in the U.S.-China rivalry. He criticized AK Party's economic policies, labeling them the 'Economic Triangle' of inflation, interest rates, and taxes, arguing that they burden citizens, businesses, and the state. Arıkan questioned the selective nature of operations targeting opposition figures, framing economic struggles as 'terror in the pockets of the people.' Regarding the Turkey Development Plan, he pledged 2.5 million jobs and a 528 billion dollar increase in Gross Domestic Product.

Arıkan's remarks underscore Saadet Party's structural reforms agenda, particularly in anti-corruption and employment creation, positioning the party as a key voice for economic change in Turkey.
