El-Sen Chairman Cesurer: We will not intervene in malfunctions or power plants

Caglayan Cesurer, President of the Cyprus Turkish Electricity Authority Employees Union (El-Sen), stated that they cannot stand by as the future of the country is handed over to someone, and said, “We will not have any initiative regarding the power cuts and power plants that are out of service after today. It will stay where it broke off,” he said.

Cesurer stated that within the scope of their actions, they will only intervene at the request of the police and fire department for the safety of life and property.

“We will do our best to keep this country in the hands of the society, not in the hands of someone.” Cesurer said, “Energy, which is the backbone of the country, cannot be transferred to a single company, the second largest economic power, and there will be no more.”

Cesurer said, “This process will continue. Our hope is that this work will be completed before common sense prevails and we enter a path of no return.”

Cesurer made statements regarding the actions they initiated against the Draft Public Procurement (Amendment) Law in the El-Sen building. During the statement, Union General Secretary Ahmet Tuğcu was also present.

Cesurer, in his statement, said that they, as the Union, continued to intervene in maintenance and repair works and malfunctions for 15 days, maintaining their good intentions and thinking of the society, against the legislation that was tried to be made to “renew the marriage with AKSA”, but that they would not take any action after today.

“Because there is nothing more than that. When we look at the reports in this country, we couldn’t just watch this society pay the 30 million dollars paid as of now in the same way for another 15 years,” Cesurer said, and announced that they would only interfere with the safety of life and property.

“The axle of the country has already broken. This is the last stronghold. We have to defend this on behalf of the society. Nobody came out to me and said, ‘Oh, we’re in the dark. Saying “There were two chickens in the freezer, I will throw them away,” Cesurer said, “Two chickens cannot be ahead of the future of society.

Comparing the production costs of AKSA and Kıb-Tek, Cesurer said, “They say we gave billions to Kıb-Tek and we will. No one gave 1 cent to Kıb-Tek. Let them just pay their own debts, Kıb-Tek won’t have a problem,” he argued, adding that the institution was forced to sell below the cost, and that this was a crime as per the regulations.

Claiming that the current situation of Kıb-Tek was caused by “knowingly and willingly” postponing investments and changing the managers, Cesurer claims that there are instructions to finish this work before the elections in Turkey, and that this is why it is tried to be imposed on the society persistently. he did.

Cesurer, referring to the costs as a result of the implementations in Kıb-Tek, said that these costs are not a big reason and that the institution can recover early if there is an intention; He gave an example of the situation of Kıb-Tek paying corporate taxes and making investments in 2012 and 2018.

Claiming that the allegations that Kıb-Tek does not have money are not true, Cesurer said, “When we look at the income and expenses of Kıb-Tek, there is 382 million TL at the moment. There are over 140 million safes,” he said. Cesurer noted that Kıb-Tek had to do to stand on its own feet.

Claiming that the rhetoric “There is no time” is also not true, Cesurer showed some documents to the members of the press and claimed that the government received offers from different companies stating that the required mw could be met within a month. Arguing that these companies do not have a purchase guarantee request, Cesurer asked, “Why are they being ignored?”

Cesurer said, “This country has already darkened. Let the light burn. When we look at the general moral motivation of our people, everyone despaired of their country. Even if everything is rosy, if only we don’t have electricity,” he said.

Noting that electricity, which is the backbone and second largest economic power of the country, cannot be transferred to a single company, Cesurer said, “This process will continue. Our hope is that this work will be completed before common sense prevails and we enter a path of no return.”

Speaking after President Cesurer, Secretary General Tuğcu called out to the members of the press and asked the Kıb-Tek management to show them the working conditions, vehicles and material warehouses of the Kıb-Tek employees and to go and see the situation in Teknecik.
