Stating that workers, farmers, industrialists, traders and tradesmen have great self-confidence and hope like 100 years ago, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Tunç Soyer said, “It is actually very valuable for everyone who makes politics in this country to reveal dreams and aspirations from the capillaries of this country. Especially for local authorities. After it is over, we will send you the decisions of all these meetings, the minutes of the decision-making process and all of them. The Economics Congress of the Second Century will eventually end with extremely rich data that will act as a compass and guide us. As of tomorrow, we are completing the very rich and productive congress, which has become a social contract enriched with differences.”
“It will be included in the congress document”
Stating that they will follow the decisions that will come out of the congress, President Tunç Soyer said, “We saw that the scratches of the leaders of the Six Tables about the future overlap with the demands coming from the capillaries below. It will be very possible for us to be his followers. We really hope that this meeting, the follow-up of this congress, will guide your work. We wanted to have a database that will inspire and contribute to your decisions, projects and applications. We find the meeting valuable. I would like to say that your contributions and evaluations will be included in the congress document as a congress output.”
“It is good that the Nation Alliance has mayors”
Seyit Torun, Deputy Chairman of the Republican People’s Party in charge of Local Administrations, stated that they have completed the works to implement local development and that they will increase their revenues for the effective service of municipalities. Torun said, “The mismanagement of the political power has left deep wounds in our country. You undertake a historical mission to close these wounds. You, as our mayors all over our country, rushed to help. You have delivered services to our people that the government could not provide. Good luck to you. Fortunately, the CHP and the Nation Alliance have mayors. Despite all the negativities since 2019, if there has been no social disaster in Turkey, it is thanks to the Nation Alliance municipalities. We are now at a very important turning point for our country. We need only one thing to make our dreams come true for Turkey. We must win this election for the future of our children. We will protect the spirit of the republic and our country. We will protect the law, justice, morality and conscience.” said.
