Mayor promises to use it as an ambulance if he
gets COVID. You can guess what the "F" is for.
Even as the COVID-19 epidemic had inflicted economic damage on
Turkey, the mayor of Kırkağaç in Manisa province, Yaşar İsmail
Gedüz of the AKP (ruling party), has purchased an official car for
himself at the price of 600,000 TL (about $75,000), sparking outrage.
Özcan Kaçar, the head of the Kırkağaç CHP (main opposition party)
group, noted that many shopkeepers in the town have had to shut down
because of COVID, as citizens' buying power has decreased to near
zero.

At such a time, in Kaçar's view, the mayor should be standing by
the public in their time of need and he added that "We found out that
the official car was purchased in the name of the municipal company
KİTAŞ for nearly 600,000 TL. COVID cases are spiking in our
district and we desperately need an ambulance. So the mayor should
have either bought an ambulance or used the money to support the
shopkeepers. The mayor's acquisition of a brand-new luxury car for
himself is a betrayal of the people!"
