Turgut Alas, the General Secretary of the People’s Party (HP), emphasized that the current understanding of government management is insufficient and that a fundamental change in mindset is necessary. He claimed that government institutions benefit certain groups and that public resources are utilized more for the interests of privileged sections rather than the needs of society.
Public Safety and Management Deficiencies
In his written statement, Alas noted that one of the fundamental responsibilities of the state is to ensure the safety of its citizens and their property, highlighting that shortcomings in this area undermine the public’s sense of security. He stated that addressing these issues is a priority to find solutions to the current concerns of society.
Basic Responsibilities and Criticism
Introducing new criticisms, Turgut Alas pointed out that the government is facing significant challenges in fulfilling its core responsibilities in tourism, health, education, and agriculture. He stressed that a state sustained by the taxes of the people must be accountable to them, clarifying that this is not a privilege but a democratic necessity.
Alas asserted that the government’s management approach cannot be operated on nepotism, favoritism, and short-term calculations. He expressed that principles of justice, meritocracy, and transparency, alongside respect for science and the will of the people, are essential, arguing that the convergence of these elements could restore public trust.
