These promises include issues such as technology, taxes on technological devices, and brain drain that concern us all, especially young people. From the Homeland Party We talked to Kazancıoğlu. Kazancıoğlu also shared how they would follow up on election security.

Before moving on to the content, let’s remind:

  • On behalf of the presidential candidates, the representatives of the alliances and parties were our guests.
  • All broadcasts will be made according to the order of candidates on the ballot.
  • No specific questions were asked to the candidates, the same questions were answered for each candidate.
  • Instead of political messages in the answers given, concrete, measurable promises were made content.

Let’s start with our first question;

1- Will taxes on technological products be removed? Why if it won’t be removed permanently?

“Taxes will be abolished on technological products, but there will generally be an exception on imported products when the time comes. When the subject products are manufactured in Turkey, Turkish equivalents are protected against imported products for a certain period of time. The main reason for this is that their Turkish counterparts are for people living in Turkey, economy and unemployment. creating job opportunities in terms of being a solution. In order to provide protection for the factories established with Turkish capital for a while, a partial tax advantage can be provided to imported products. If there is no such situation, that is, if these products are not produced in Turkey, certain technological products such as computers or telephones not right to tax.”

2- What kind of technological infrastructure do you work with within the scope of election security? What security measures have you taken, how reliable are these security measures?

“According to the current election law, political parties that were among the top 5 votes in the last election can appoint members to ballot box committees. We are a party that was founded about 24 months ago and we have not participated in a general election before that. Therefore, we can be observers in election boards. Last year, Mr. President, By Muharrem Ince with the directive of our party council friends, ‘Let’s check the voter lists and ballot boxes together’ They called for an electoral alliance, but this remained unanswered.

‘The best technological infrastructure for election security Excel’

”The best technological infrastructure within the scope of election security is phones and simple Excel programs on the computer. Here’s the trick, in the fastest and most accurate way is the delivery of ballot box results to the provinces and districts, to the latest computer in the headquarters. In other words, it means taking photos of the results with the phones we have and delivering them to the districts. Addition functions are made in the districts via Excel and these collection lists are sent to the provinces in electronic environment. Ultimately, the final Excel collection is done at headquarters. We are considering checking these ballot totals with our own observers.”

3- What do you think about the brain drain? What plans do you have to prevent or reverse this?

brain drain

“The brain drain happens where there is no justice and the brain drain does not stop until we get out of the ‘I have the power, so I control it no matter how ignorant I am’. Our first task in our government will be to establish justice. Another way to prevent the brain drain is to be fair by walking in the “right value” rankings on the way to civilization. Most important theft and corruption is to build the economy on sustainable production by stopping it. Instead of concrete economy digital economy One of our first targets will be the policy of earning high income per person by producing parts and software. With these policies and incentives, the brain drain can be stopped. Of course, the air we breathe every day must be dominated by a climate of freedom, democracy, justice and reason.

4- Finally, why should someone who loves technology, follows closely and wants to reach the latest technology vote for you?

‘Accessing technology alone would not be efficient without reason, freedom and justice’

“Even if you reach technology alone, without a climate of reason, freedom, democracy and justice in the country, it will be difficult. not efficient. Many Turkish citizens are not here but in the West (such as Aziz Sancar, Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci). great achievements is catching. The reason for this is that they live in a climate of reason and freedom without pressure. Creating a climate of freedom, justice and science will be one of our top priorities.”
