Accompanied by his delegation, Yapıcıoğlu engaged with workers at the factory, addressing their concerns and providing answers during the event. The visit took place as preparations for the second round of the Presidential election, scheduled for May 28, are in full swing.
Yapıcıoğlu has been actively reaching out to various segments of society, including workers, retirees, civil servants, the elderly, and the youth, seeking support for the re-election of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The reception at the factory in Arnavutköy was overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the enthusiasm surrounding Yapıcıoğlu's campaign. Expressing confidence in securing a significant victory in the upcoming elections, Yapıcıoğlu urged everyone to remain diligent and avoid complacency. He emphasized that politics should be focused on solving the problems of citizens and advocated for a people-centered approach. Yapıcıoğlu highlighted the importance of establishing justice and criticized politics that deviate from this aim, driven solely by wealth, power, or fame.
During the visit, Yapıcıoğlu also addressed the issue of rising rental costs, acknowledging that it is currently under legal discussion. He presented a solution proposal previously put forward by the government, suggesting that if it is not possible to halt rent increases, wages should be increased in parallel with the rising rents. Yapıcıoğlu explained that when wages reach a certain level, producers of goods would adjust their prices accordingly, taking into account increased labor costs and other factors. However, he emphasized the need for an urgent solution regarding rents, stating that simply freezing rents would not be a viable solution. Yapıcıoğlu proposed the provision of rental assistance for citizens, particularly in areas with excessively high rents, or alternatively, an adjustment in wages corresponding to rental prices. He also mentioned the long-term solution of facilitating homeownership for low-income citizens under favorable payment conditions.
As the election date draws closer, Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu's campaign continues to resonate with various sections of society, aiming to secure support for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's re-election. The visit to the box manufacturing factory in Arnavutköy served as another opportunity for Yapıcıoğlu to connect with the working class and address their concerns, further solidifying his position as a candidate striving for the betterment of citizens and the establishment of justice.
