emphasized. UBP MP and Deputy Secretary General Dr. Ahmet Savaşan, who evaluated the government's vote of confidence, pointed out that the National Unity Party, aware of the fact that a very difficult period has been entered, asked for authority from the Turkish Cypriot People, and that the people have imposed an important responsibility by giving the UBP 24 deputies.

Dr. Ahmet Savaşan stated that they listened with great patience to the criticisms of the main opposition party against the government program, explaining that their aim was to make a “tough opposition” in their own words, and said, “We listened with great patience to the criticisms of HP MPs, especially our main opposition party. We took note of the parts of their speeches that are beneficial to the people and we will evaluate them. But once again
I would like to state clearly that the main thing is to show the courage to take the responsibility of power and actually serve our people by taking the necessary steps in the economy, health, education, tourism and other areas of life. Unfortunately, we could not see this desire in the main opposition.”.

The goals in the program are elusive but achievable...

Savaşan stated that the necessary steps, especially economic development, will be taken within the framework of the government program; the government's primary goal is to bring the economy to its pre-pandemic level and then to raise it to higher levels. Savaşan said that they know that it is not easy to achieve this goal, but if they work by pushing all the conditions, this difficult goal can be achieved.

We will work to increase our revenues.

Explaining that the TRNC economy is faced with a serious price hike, that the government has had to make price increases that have been postponed for years, and that it is known that all of these increases are due to the price increases in the world and the increases in exchange rates, Ahmet Savaşan said, “No government has yet
would not want to raise electricity or fuel when they are at the beginning of the road. If these increases are being made, it is because they are necessary. To reduce the pressure of these increases on families, we have to raise incomes. Our government must and will urgently focus on measures to raise revenues. All our ministers and MPs
Our friends are working on this issue. We are waiting for suggestions from the opposition and stakeholder organizations on this issue.”.

It's going to be a very difficult period...

“It will be a very difficult period. We are aware that great responsibilities fall on our Prime Minister and our ministers and of course we, the ruling MPs”, said UBP MP and Deputy Secretary General Dr. Ahmet Savaşan, “We know that we can only achieve success by working selflessly in unity and solidarity, sincerely evaluating the suggestions and criticisms from the opposition and of course with the decisive support of Motherland Turkey. As ruling MPs, we must and will do our part more than enough.”.
