SES Antalya Branch's address this week for the action, which is in its 15th week, is Pakize-Yahya Erkun Family Health Center in Kepez district. SES Antalya Branch Co-Chair Dr. Kaan Taşer demanded justice in taxes and said: "While the ministers have not even given up traveling on private jets, we do not accept that savings are made on us. We do not accept that one-third of the wages of employees earning below the poverty line should be taxed. We do not accept a 35 percent tax deduction from us while a 15 percent tax is collected from banks and companies that declare huge profits. We do not accept that it will be taken from us with a tax deduction before we see the increase that is said to be made next month. We want justice in taxes."
