The Turkish Cypriot government had a busy week. Parliament approved a large budget for the Deputy Prime Ministry. This budget is over 2.7 billion Turkish Lira. It will help important areas like tourism, culture, youth, and the environment. Also, there were changes in the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
This budget is important for the government's yearly plans. The money will help put policies into action. It will also pay for running the tourism and culture businesses. These businesses are good for the economy. However, not everyone agreed on the budget. There were disagreements about money and how it should be used.
During a meeting, Salahi Şahiner from the Republican Turkish Party spoke. He said the tourism plan only helps a few businesses. He also worried about protecting nature and water. He mentioned a decision about online betting permits that was canceled. Şahiner said he did not see any real improvements.
The Minister of Economy and Energy, Olgun Amcaoğlu, answered Şahiner. He said that problems with the Deputy Prime Minister should be discussed inside the government. Amcaoğlu said that if a minister is not listened to, he can complain in the cabinet.
At the same time, new people were appointed to jobs. Derviş Bayraktar is now the new Private Office Director at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Emrah Güven is the new Director of the Labor Department. These changes seem to be about making the ministry work better.
These events show that there are still questions about the economy and the environment. The staff changes suggest the government wants to improve how it works. People will watch to see how the budget is used and how the new officials do their jobs.
