Because we are among the people; We are members of the people's party, we work for the people and produce for the people, there is no privilege in our book. Our mayors made history in this process. Everyone knows this very well. Masks were distributed to millions of people, and in-kind and cash aid was given. Tablets were distributed to tens of thousands of students, and thousands of students were enabled to benefit from the internet. In the 21st century there are still merged classes in Turkey. In the provinces where we have 11 Metropolitan Mayors, we wanted to build a school if the National Real Estate plot was shown. I make the same call from Izmir again. We will do. We do it because we account for every penny. We do politics for the people, not to turn the corner. We do not see politics as a means of enrichment. We are as different as black and white with them.

You will make the tenders transparent and give them to those who are entitled, you will not waste. You will account for every penny you spend.
