Strike comment from Kocaoğlu ... The reproach by the passengers is justified

The comment of the strike from Kocaoğlu ... The reproach of the passengers is justified: In the television program he attended, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım, CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu made statements on the İZBAN strike, Gulf transportation and candidacy. Stating that he does not know when the İZBAN strike will end and that the 15 percent raise offer is very good, Kocaoğlu said, “Passengers waiting extra at the stop are rightfully reproaching. I thank the people of Izmir for their patience with the strike. I hope it will be over as soon as possible, ”he said.

Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Aziz Kocaoğlu answered questions about the agenda in a program he attended on a local television. Mayor Kocaoğlu said that neither TCDD nor Izmir Metropolitan Municipality administration intervened in the collective agreement process in İZBAN until the last stage, and that they were involved in the last days. Stating that they made their proposal for a 15 percent increase in wages provided that the contract is signed and no strike is made, Kocaoğlu said, “But the union did not accept it. The issue is not 'gave 15 percent, the union asked for 16,5'. It's not a matter of 1,5 percent. The state did not give an increase of more than 8 percent to its civil servants, and the employees of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality in the 25 companies with which it contracted, by more than 9,5 percent. It is true that İZBAN is a newly established company. They start with a certain wage, and there is a process for wages to reach a certain point over time. İZBAN's suggestion is 8 percent inflation, 7 percent improvement, that is, improvement as much as inflation. Metro has been around for 18 years. İZBAN has been working for 7-8 years. "It is not possible for İZBAN to be the same as the wages of İzmir Metro employees with a contract every 7 years."

"PASSENGERS HAVE JUST REPORT"

Mayor Kocaoğlu stated that they would not want to victimize the worker, the union or the people of İzmir, and that there was a strike on one side of life. Kocaoğlu ”The municipality's ESHOT before the strike; We have taken as many measures as we can with Izulaş, Metro and Izdeniz companies. We had stalled places. Didn't the citizen suffer? He pulled. However, İzmir Metropolitan Municipality met with the transportation companies of the 270-280 thousand passengers carried by İZBAN. Citizens waiting too long at the station are rightly reproaching, ”he said.

"I THANK YOU FOR THE PATIENCE OF IZMIRIANS ABOUT THE STRIKE"

Stating that he did not know when the strike will end, Mayor Kocaoğlu said, “Nobody knows. Because we gave what we would give. The union did not accept. He went on strike. If you ask me, there is no open door. I did not give more than 9,5 percent in municipal companies. Can not give. I think the offer given to the union in İZBAN is very good for me. I would like to thank the Izmirians for their patience with the strike. I hope it ends as soon as possible. Our brothers and sisters also start to receive their salaries ”.

"I DID NOT HAVE FIGHTING WITH KILIÇDAROĞLU"

When asked about rumors that they were offended with CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu for a while, President Kocaoğlu said, “It is not a topic to talk about with the President Kılıçdaroğlu. I have never had any friction with the former CHP Chairman Deniz Baykal or with Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu. I have a personality that speaks my thoughts directly, but does not speak to any person by manipulating, telling the truths I know, I do not know if I do not know. Baykal, I did not hide information from Kılıçdaroğlu, did not give misleading information, nor tried to direct. I said I know it right, ”he said.

"I KNOW THE PRIME MINISTER, I UNDERSTAND THE PRIME MINISTER HAS RECOGNIZED ME"

In his answer to the question of whether the approval of the Gulf Çed report, which has been expected for years, and that he had positive meetings with the Ministers, by reminding the statement that “Binali Bey is passing through my heart” before the AK Party Congress, Kocaoğlu said, “I did not say it for benefit. I said it because it was sincere. AK Party elects its chairman. A servant of Allah within the Ak Party cannot stand up and say, 'I want Mr. Binali'. But we have been working with Binali Yıldırım for 12 years. I know very well that I know and understand Mr. Prime Minister, that Mr. Prime Minister has understood and recognized me. Izmir has accumulated problems. I talked to Binali Bey many times. These are problems that really need to be solved. Authorization, I want permission. I don't want anything else. Metropolitan Municipality is a public institution. We want routine works such as approval of plans, submission of metro investments from the High Planning Council, making certain allocations, granting usage permits. Binali Bey gave instructions. He wanted to speed up the backlog. Ministers and bureaucrats evaluate it when we go because of this instruction and try to solve it. In the coming days, we want to get these permissions to overcome the congestion. My concern is to develop the city and make environmental investments ”.

"PASSENGER WILL INCREASE AS NEW PIERS ARE OPENED"

Kocaoğlu said that despite the purchase of new ferries, the reason for the lack of increase in the number of roads in the Gulf is that new piers have not been opened. Stating that the ferries are a classic passenger, Kocaoğlu said, “If we do not put a ferry pier in Mavişehir, Karantina, Justice Palace, we cannot increase the number of people on board. We are trying to get permits to build these piers. We will increase the number of passengers by obtaining permits and building piers to Mavişehir, Karantina. We are also calculating to go to Güzelbahçe and Urla, ”he said.

"I WILL WORK AS I WILL BE A CANDIDATE TOMORROW AND DECIDE SIX MONTHS TO THE ELECTION"

Responding to the question of whether he will be a candidate again six months ago, Kocaoğlu said, "I want to do my duty as if I will be a candidate tomorrow and decide six months before the election."
