30 million dollars aid to Somalia! CHP deputies outraged!
The CHP delegation in Muğla criticized the aid of 30 million dollars to Somalia.
CHP Deputy Chairman Ali Öztunç, on the other hand, said, “It burned up to the last tree, that's how the fire ended. We said from day one that there was no firefighting plane. We can't buy planes, our houses are burning, but Erdogan is sending 30 million dollars to Somalia. They say that a mosque that is not at home is haram. The fires broke out in the forest, not in the municipalities. Forests are managed and operated by the state.
Öztunç said, “While THK was in existence, the forests were not burning, the fires were being extinguished. As long as the power doesn't get in the way. Municipalities with CHP will raise THK. Don't try to build hotels or make concrete on burning places," he said.
CHP Group Deputy Chairman Engin Altay also said in his statement, “Our mayors worked like firefighters. Our friends and municipalities rushed to every flame. We had friends who were stranded and out of danger. We wish we could get through this disaster with less damage. It is Mr. Erdogan who cannot achieve this. There is a duty defect in the middle," he said.
Altay continued his words as follows:
“If this institution was the way it was 3 years ago, we would have lost only 10 percent of the current forests. This is the responsibility of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. There is a phenomenon called global climate change. The world has been thinking about this for 20-30 years. The ecological balance has completely changed. The format of fighting forest fires has also changed. We are faced with a state that does not know this. No plane or helicopter went to the Mumcular region on 2 August. It is not befitting to lie to the President.”
