On 29th of April, the main opposition party gave a proposal to the parliament saying the coal mines in Soma, Manisa were in terrible condition and a research should be started immediately. The proposal found support from other opposition parties as well, but it was rejected by the parliament through votes by the government party. (Because the mines were made benefits to government-favored people) Today, on 14th of May, an explosion occurred in the same coal mine, the miners were stuck inside. 157 miners announced dead, 100+ miners announced to be in critical condition, around 500 miners are still said to be stuck inside.
As usual, the event has been described by the government members as "Unlucky". No resignation, no research for the accountable, not even an apology. This is basically a third world country disguised as a developing country.
