Turkish government triples gasoline tax, increasing pump prices by about 20%. The measure is an attempt to fill the government's coffers, which have been depleted by expensive donations made by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his re-election campaign and a disastrous earthquake in February. This is a clear demonstration of how politicians always put their ambitions ahead of the people. Turkish taxpayers do not deserve to be treated like this. #corruption #turkey #taxes #politics 🇹🇷 💰 💸 👐 👎
