Victory Party Leader Ümit Özdağ Announced New Economic Projects in Izmir

Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ shared his new economic package during a program in Izmir, announcing that shopping malls will be closed one day a week and the growth model will be based on industry and production.

Industry-Focused Growth Model

Victory Party Leader Ümit Özdağ emphasized that they will transform Turkey's growth model from one focused on construction and unearned income into an industry- and production-centered structure.

He stated that the country should focus on factories and organized industrial zones instead of residence and shopping mall constructions.

Shopping Mall Regulation and Protection of Tradesmen

Drawing attention to the unfair competition between large capital groups and small tradesmen, Özdağ expressed that local producers and tradesmen must be protected.

He announced that shopping malls will be closed one day a week in order to ensure that small tradesmen survive and human working conditions are provided.

Planned Economy and Education Goals

It was noted that by transitioning to a planned economy model, the education system will be restructured in this direction.

It is planned to close unnecessary universities and direct young people to vocational high schools.

Foreign Policy and Criticisms of Waste

Touching upon developments in foreign policy and the Houthi tension, Özdağ reacted to Turkish soldiers being used for the interests of foreign states.

He stated that the massive waste in the public sector must be stopped and an average of 7 billion dollars is transferred abroad annually.

Visit to Aegean Exporters' Associations

Within the scope of his contacts in Izmir, Özdağ visited the Aegean Exporters' Associations and came together with Coordinator President Muhammet Öztürk and board members.

During the visit, the problems of the export sector were addressed, and the 4 Regions 4 Seas Project prepared by the Victory Party was detailed.
