Palandöken: Supports Are Not Enough For Tradesmen

Bendevi Palandöken, President of the Turkish Confederation of Tradesmen and Craftsmen (TESK), said, "These supports are not enough for tradesmen."

Bendevi Palandöken, President of the Confederation of Turkish Tradesmen and Craftsmen (TESK), who is a guest at Bloomberg HT, discussed the decision to extend the income and rent support provided to tradesmen. TESK President Palandöken stated that he thanked for the support given to the tradesmen at the beginning of his speech and said that this decision will meet some of the problems of the tradesmen, but TESK expected a more comprehensive package. Reminding that the Short Work Allowance has also been extended, Palandöken stated that these supports are still not sufficient for tradesmen. Speaking about the extension of support for tradesmen and craftsmen and real person merchants for another month, Palandöken said: "There will be a huge loss of business for 7 days. At least, they will not be executed during this period, but the debt created a problem because their debt has increased. It has been postponed without interest until July. At the same time, some of the due will be postponed until the end of the year. We expected the support to continue increasingly, but the government's budget is probably not enough for this. Our talks will continue in the next period. Since the supports are the priority of the tradesmen, we hope that the future will be bright. "
