	ANKARA - HDP requested a general meeting in the General Assembly of the Parliament in order to reveal the damage caused by the economic and social crisis, to find a solution to the crisis and to inform the government about the details of the multiple crisis.

	Emphasizing that the economic and social crisis is getting worse day by day, Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) said: "The neo-liberal economic policies of the AKP-MHP alliance, the practices implemented by combining patronage, nepotism and rent relations, the political system of the Presidential Government System Its combination with the structure that triggers the crisis deepens the multiple crisis."

	 

	INCREASING UNEMPLOYEMENT

	 

	The motion emphasizing the increasing unemployement and the reduced employement, the motion reads: "The exchange rates that can not be reiened, the increase in dependence on imports, budget preferences of armament industries and investments, policies based on security measures,  the wastage caused by the policies depending on conflict, the luxury and the rant being favoured by the government got Turkey to a point where it never had been in its history in terms of poverty and income distribution inequality. While Turkey's economy produces hundreds of pro-government billionaires, more than 20 million people are suffering from hunger and poverty."

	 

	Stating that the policies of the AKP-MHP alliance is far from finding a solution for the economic crisis, the motion reads: "As a matter of fact, the results of the employment policies put into action by the government considering the capital are the most obvious indicators of this situation. By plundering the Unemployment Fund, it was aimed to increase employment by providing an employer incentive of 134 billion TL in the last three years. The said amount was created from the taxes collected and loaded on the shoulders of the public. However, 1.5 million jobs were lost only in the last year with the effect of the pandemic. Incentives to create employment had the opposite result and even employers did not create employment and employed their existing workers at "zero cost" with this incentive they received. "Imaginary employment" did not give hope to the unemployed and brought "zero cost" to the capital."
