Erhürman Slams Government Over New Electricity Tariff Regulation

Republican Turkish Party (CTP) Leader Tufan Erhürman has issued a harsh critique of the government on his personal social media account, condemning a recent regulation concerning electricity tariffs. Erhürman argued that the new policy disregards legal, economic, and institutional boundaries, and potentially legitimizes irregular installations.

The new "State Institutions Tariff II" establishes a special energy tariff for state projects and departments, with unclear provisions regarding its application. Erhürman expressed concerns that this tariff, which supposedly covers state-owned or associated projects with irregular installations, could be exploited to provide undue advantages.

In his post, Erhürman highlighted the potential for this regulation to extend benefits to those with irregular setups, questioning whether it constitutes a discount or facilitation. He noted that the exact pricing under this tariff remains ambiguous, pointing out that even the text of the regulation appears to be poorly drafted, reflecting a broader governmental incompetence.

Erhürman emphasized the risks associated with legitimizing irregular installations in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and public infrastructure. He warned that such practices compromise safety and sustainability, urging immediate reforms to eliminate unlawful and hazardous installations.

Speculation suggests that this new tariff might be linked to Ercan Airport, raising further security concerns due to alleged irregular installations at the site. Erhürman called on the government to clarify this issue and ensure the safety of public facilities.

In conclusion, Erhürman reiterated that if the CTP comes to power, they will abolish such regulations, ensuring adherence to legal standards and prioritizing public safety. He criticized the current administration's continuous harmful policies, declaring, "Every day you remain in power inflicts irreversible damage on our people."

Erhürman’s detailed post is a stark reminder of the critical need for transparency and accountability in public administration, especially concerning essential services like electricity and public safety.
