'Dostumuz Trump'tan Türk Zeytinyağına Vergi Şoku!

'Dostumuz Trump'tan Türk Zeytinyağına Vergi Şoku!

Yeni Parti Manisa Milletvekili Ahmet Vehbi Bakırlıoğlu, Akhisar’da zeytin bahçesinde yaptığı açıklamada, yeni sezon öncesinde zeytin ve zeytinyağı üreticilerinin yaşadığı sorunlara dikkat çekti. Tarihi bir rekolte beklentisine rağmen üreticinin düşük fiyatlar, artan maliyetler ve kaldırılan destekler nedeniyle zor durumda olduğunu belirten Bakırlıoğlu, ABD’nin Türk zeytinyağına getirdiği yüzde 12,5’lik ilave vergiye tepki gösterdi.“Zeytinin başkenti Manisa’da, Akhisar’dayız. Ağaçlarımızın maşallahı var. Ürün bol, bereketli bir sezon bizi bekliyor” diyen Bakırlıoğlu, bu sezon zeytinde 450-500 bin ton seviyelerinde rekolte beklendiğini söyledi.Bakırlıoğlu, “Normal şartlarda böylesine bereketli bir sezon öncesinde zeytin üreticimizin yüzünün gülmesi gerekir. Ancak bugün üreticimiz kara kara düşünüyor. Zeytin fiyatları dipte, zeytinyağı fiyatları dipte, maliyetler her geçen gün artıyor” ifadelerini kullandı.ÜRETİCİYE DESTEK KESİLDİDane zeytin ve zeytinyağına yönelik önceki yıllarda verilen desteklerin kaldırıldığını hatırlatan Bakırlıoğlu, üreticinin bir yandan artan maliyetlerle mücadele ederken diğer yandan desteklerden mahrum bırakıldığını söyledi. Bakırlıoğlu, “Üretici zaten fiyat baskısı altında. Bunun üzerine maliyetler artıyor, destekler kaldırılıyor. Şimdi de en önemli ihracat pazarlarımızdan biri olan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nden yeni bir vergi darbesi geliyor” dedi.TÜRKİYE'YE YÜZDE 12,5 TUNUS'A SIFIR VERGIABD’nin Türk zeytinyağına uyguladığı ilave yüzde 12,5’lik verginin Türkiye’nin rekabet gücünü ciddi biçimde zayıflatacağını belirten Bakırlıoğlu, Tunus ile Türkiye arasındaki vergi farkına dikkat çekti.“Tunus’a sıfır vergi var, Türkiye’ye yüzde 12,5 ilave vergi var. Böyle bir tabloda Türk zeytinyağının diğer ülkelerle rekabet etmesi nasıl mümkün olacak?” diye soran Bakırlıoğlu, Türkiye’nin önemli bir ihracat pazarını kaybetme riskiyle karşı karşıya olduğunu söyledi."DOSTUM DEDİĞİMİZ TRUMP’TAN ZEYTİNYAĞINA VERGİ"Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan ile ABD Başkanı Donald Trump arasındaki ilişkiye de göndermede bulunan Bakırlıoğlu, hükümetin ABD ile ilişkilerinde Türkiye’nin ekonomik çıkarlarını yeterince koruyamadığını savundu.Bakırlıoğlu şöyle konuştu:“Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan Trump’a ‘dostum’ diyor. Trump da Erdoğan için ‘harika bir insan, çok önemli bir ortak’ diyor. Peki sonuç ne? Türkiye taviz üzerine taviz verirken, Trump’ın ülkesine döner dönmez attığı adımlardan biri Türk zeytinyağına yüzde 12,5 ilave vergi getirmek oluyor. Bu nasıl dostluk? Bu nasıl ortaklık?”Türkiye’nin ABD ile ilişkilerinde kendi üreticisinin çıkarlarını koruması gerektiğini vurgulayan Bakırlıoğlu, “Biz taviz vereceğiz, Türk çiftçisi bedel ödeyecek. Böyle bir ticaret politikası kabul edilemez” dedi.TİCARET BAKANLIĞI'NA ÇAĞRITicaret Bakanlığı’na çağrıda bulunan Bakırlıoğlu, Türk zeytinyağına getirilen yüzde 12,5’lik ilave verginin kaldırılması için derhal girişim başlatılmasını istedi.Bakırlıoğlu, “Bu verginin faturası ihracatçıya, üreticiye ve Türk zeytincisine çıkacak. Ticaret Bakanlığı derhal harekete geçmeli. Türk zeytinyağının uluslararası pazardaki rekabet gücü korunmalı. Çünkü mesele yalnızca ihracatçının değil; tarlasındaki ağacına alın terini döken binlerce zeytin üreticisinin meselesidir” ifadelerini kullandı. www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.

Haxhiu Warns of New Elections Without Presidential Agreement

Haxhiu Warns of New Elections Without Presidential Agreement

10:25 | 16 Gusht 2026 Ushtruesja e detyrës së Presidentes së Kosovës, Albulena Haxhiu, ka deklaruar se zgjedhjet e shkurtit 2025 kanë qenë zgjedhjet e fundit të rregullta pas një mandati të plotë qeverisës, ndërsa dy proceset e tjera zgjedhore i ka cilësuar të panevojshme dhe të dëmshme për qytetarët dhe buxhetin e Republikës.“Zgjedhjet e shkurtit 2025 kanë qenë zgjedhjet e fundit të rregullta pas një mandati të plotë qeverisës. Pas këtyre ishin ato të 28 dhjetorit të po atij viti, e më pas edhe ato të 7 qershorit të këtij viti. Të dy këto palë zgjedhje ishin të panevojshme dhe të dëmshme, si për qytetarët ashtu edhe për buxhetin e Republikës. Mbi të gjitha të gjitha këto zgjedhje provuan rezultat të ngjashëm zgjedhor”, ka shkruar Haxhiu.Sipas saj, tre procese të njëpasnjëshme zgjedhore me rezultat të përafërt dëshmojnë se pa dialogim politik, veçanërisht për çështjen e Presidentit, nuk ka zgjidhje për ecje përpara.“Tre procese të njëpasnjëshme zgjedhore me rezultat të përafërt janë dëshmi e bollshme që pa dialogim politik, veçanërisht për çështjen e Presidentit, nuk ka zgjidhje për ecje përpara”, ka thënë ajo.Haxhiu ka theksuar se tani është momenti për dialog politik, duke kërkuar që të niset nga çështja e Presidentit, të cilën e konsideron nyjën që po e çon vendin vazhdimisht në zgjedhje.“Në këto rrethana ndonëse është hapi i tretë në aspektin formal, çështja e Presidentit, në rastin tonë, është hapi i parë nga duhet të nisemi. Është evidente që pa marrëveshje për të i çelet rrugë një procesi të ri zgjedhor, që praktikisht nuk do të sjellë asgjë të re. Aq më pak zgjidhje”, ka shkruar Haxhiu.Ajo ka bërë të ditur se, me vullnetin për të gjetur një konsensus politik, ka ftuar krerët e të gjitha subjekteve politike parlamentare.“Më lejoni të shpreh keqardhjen time të plotë që pavarësisht ftesës sime të sinqertë, subjektet politike si PDK dhe AAK refuzuan të njëjtën. Këtë refuzim e konsideroj veprim të gabuar, të pamatur dhe mbi të gjitha mungesë të vullnetit për të tejkaluar pozicionimet barrikaduese. Të tilla pozicione nuk e ndihmojnë askënd, aq më pak Republikën tonë”, ka deklaruar ajo.Në fund, Haxhiu ka thënë se qytetarët po japin mesazhin e tyre përmes zgjedhjeve, ndërsa sipas saj, detyrë e përfaqësuesve politikë është që këtë mesazh ta zbatojnë në praktikë.“Qyetarët e vendit vazhdimisht janë duke folur qartë përmes zgjedhjeve, ndërkaq është detyrë e jona si përfaqësues të tyre e si udhëheqës partish e institucionesh politike ta zbatojmë atë në praktikë. Kosova ka nevojë për shumë punë. Zgjedhjet do të duhej të ishin opsioni i fundit nëse jo fare opsion”, ka shkruar Haxhiu.Ajo ka shprehur shpresën që deri të martën të ketë reflektim dhe që takimi të jetë i dobishëm drejt gjetjes së një zgjidhjeje.“Mbetem me shpresën që deri të martën të kemi reflektim e takimi të jetë sa më i dobishëm drejt gjetjes së një zgjidhje.”

Kaia Gerber Stuns Fans with Shocking Exorcism Revelation

Kaia Gerber claimed she underwent a secret exorcism.The model and actress, 24, dropped that she attracts “beings from other dimensions in a very casual and chill way” during her appearance on the “Mitch Churi Chat Show” episode released Friday.She recalled that her mom, Cindy Crawford, gave her holy water when she filmed “American Horror Story: Double Feature” back in 2021 because the supermodel didn’t want her daughter to get possessed.“I was told I was possessed as a child,” she said, adding that she’s been “haunted” her whole life.Kaia Gerber, pictured above in April 2024, claimed she had an exorcism as a child during a podcast appearance Friday. Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty ImagesGerber, pictured here with mom Cindy Crawford, explained that as a child she was told she was “possessed.” FilmMagicGerber then shockingly revealed that she had an exorcism performed on her.“Do you know how they did the exorcism? They played a didgeridoo all over me, that’s how they did the exorcism,” she said, referring to the ancient wind instrument used by Indigenous Australian cultures.She added, “That actually did happen. I’ve never talked about it, but that actually did happen.”Kaia — the only daughter of Crawford and Casamigos co-founder Rande Gerber — is currently promoting her new FX show, “The Shards.”Gerber, pictured here with her mom in November 2025, said a didgeridoo was played over her during the exorcism. Variety via Getty ImagesThe actress also shared that her mom gave her holy water to take on the set of “American Horror Story: Double Feature” because she didn’t want her to get possessed. The mother-daughter duo is seen here in November 2023. Getty ImagesThe thriller, created by Ryan Murphy and “American Psycho” writer Bret Easton Ellis, is based on Ellis’ 2023 novel of the same name.“The Shards” also stars actor Homer Gere, the 26-year-old son of Richard Gere. The co-stars are connected in their personal lives, as Crawford and Richard were once married. (They divorced in 1995 after four years of marriage.)Crawford went on to marry Rande in May 1998, and they also share son Presley, 27. Richard, meanwhile, shares Homer with his ex-wife, Carey Lowell.Gerber is pictured here playing Kendall Carr on Season 10 of “American Horror Story.” ©FX Networks/Courtesy Everett CollectionGerber currently starring on FX’s “The Shards” opposite Homer Gere, seen together above. FXHomer said he addressed his and Kaia’s awkward connection right away.“Twenty minutes into knowing each other, I was like, ‘Should we just acknowledge the fact that our parents were married?’” he told Vogue in the interview for his and Kaia’s September cover.“She was like, ‘Yeah. Cool.’ And that was it,” he shared.“The Shards” airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on FX, and streams on Hulu.

Elizabeth Olsen is taking on a new role: motherhood.The actress has apparently given birth to her and husband Robbie Arnett’s first child, as they were spotted in new photos taking a walk in Los Angeles on Saturday — with the “WandaVision” actress carrying an infant in a white baby carrier strapped to her chest.Olsen, wearing white, donned a wide-brimmed hat during the outing, shielding the baby with another green hat.Arnett, meanwhile, wore a casual pair of shorts, a turquoise long-sleeved shirt and sneakers for the walk.Prior to the sighting, Olsen was spotted stepping out on Aug. 7 in Southern California — with no baby bump in sight — in a breezy yellow top, striped pants, and sandals.Elizabeth Olsen stepped out, having apparently recently given birth, with her new baby on Saturday, as seen above.

Perez Hilton's Private Struggles: What the Public Missed

Perez Hilton's Private Struggles: What the Public Missed

I have known Perez Hilton since 2004, before Perez became a global brand, a cultural lightning rod, or the face people attached to an entire era of internet gossip. We are three months apart in age and I am lucky enough to call him one of my close friends.In the days since Perez attempted to take his own life, I have watched an extraordinary debate unfold online. Alongside the messages of concern and compassion, there have been comments calling what happened to him “karma” or punishment for the hurt he caused during the years when PerezHilton.com was at the center of celebrity culture.I understand the anger behind some of those reactions. I also know something about the man at the center of them.Perez Hilton’s former publicist is speaking out about the blogger’s private struggle. (Hilton is pictured above with his hands over his chest.) Perez Hilton/ YoutubeBen Russo pictured with Hilton. WireImageOutside of our friendship, I was also Perez’s publicist for 10 years. During the height of his fame, we spoke almost every day. I had a front-row seat to his rise, his mistakes and, more importantly, his guilt as he tried to grapple with the consequences of the way he had covered people in the past. I watched becoming a father change him. And I watched the real person, Mario Lavandeira, emerge from behind the character the world knew as Perez Hilton.That is why I feel compelled to speak now. The person being judged today is not simply the person people remember from a website two decades ago. None of us can rewrite our past, but I believe we have to allow people the possibility of becoming something more than the things they may have done.To really understand Perez Hilton, you also have to remember what celebrity media looked like at the time. Perez did not create that culture by himself; he just became its most visible face.Hilton in 2007 at a New Year’s Eve party in New York City. Patrick McMullan via Getty ImagesHilton poses with his three children in front of advertisements. perezhiltonmiami/ instagramWe were all addicted to celebrity gossip, and still are today. Millions visited PerezHilton.com, refreshed the headlines, repeated the stories and came back for more. Celebrities wanted his attention. Publicists and agents sought coverage for their clients. Advertisers followed the audience. Perez played a powerful role in that machine, but he never operated alone.Perez has acknowledged the harm he caused. In 2010, he changed course, risked the platform he had built, and publicly committed himself to doing better.I saw that change happen privately. It changed the conversations we had and the decisions he made.Hilton smiles alongside Katy Perry in 2017 in Los Angeles, California. Christopher PolkHilton playfully kisses Lady Gaga in 2009 in Irvine, California. FilmMagicAccountability matters. And Perez took it. But if accountability offers no possibility of redemption, it is not accountability. It is permanent punishment.And that is where I struggle with some of what I have read over the past week.I’m not writing this to tell anyone they have to forgive him. I’m writing because there is a line between accountability and believing another human being deserves to suffer so profoundly that they no longer deserve to live.Hilton poses in front of a “Star Wars” parody advertisement in 2025. perezlovesmiami/InstagramHilton smiles at the camera with his hands clasped together. Perez Hilton/YouTubeWhatever you might think of Perez Hilton, what happened last week was not karma. It was a mental health crisis. And no suicide attempt should ever be celebrated as justice.Over the past week, as my friend was at his most vulnerable and his family was trying to protect him and his children, his suffering was playing out in front of millions of people. His video showing self-harm remained on TikTok for more than fifteen minutes. Strangers watched, shared, commented and passed judgment on one of the darkest moments of his life.Hilton takes a mirror selfie in 2026 with one finger raised.Hilton smiles alongside his three children at a restaurant in 2025. perezlovesmiami/InstagramCompassion doesn’t require us to forget someone’s past. It simply requires us to remember there is still a human being behind it.I witnessed Perez’s rise, his mistakes, his decision to change, and the sixteen years he has spent living under a weight of public judgment that, at times, has made him feel as if he was not worthy of being alive.That is what saddens me most: not just what was said about him, but what it may have made him believe about himself.For further updates on Perez Hilton from his family, please go to perezhilton.com.If you or someone you know needs help in the US, please call or text the confidential 24/7 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Jason Priestley Breaks Down Remembering Emotional Scene with Luke Perry

Jason Priestley Breaks Down Remembering Emotional Scene with Luke Perry

Jason Priestley fought back tears while remembering his “favorite directing moment” with late “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Luke Perry.During a June appearance on the “Best With Them” podcast, Priestley — who made his directorial debut during Season 3 of the ’90s teen drama — reflected on working with Perry during his final stint as Dylan McKay.“My favorite directing moment? In Luke Perry’s last episode that he ever did, you know, Luke falling to his knees in the rain… we had rain towers everywhere, and Luke was falling to his knees, you know, looking up at the heavens and crying out,” Priestley explained.Jason Priestley, pictured with Luke Perry, teared up while recalling directing him on “Beverly Hills, 90210.” ©Aaron Spelling Prods/Courtesy Everett CollectionPriestley, seen above on the “Best With Them” podcast, said his favorite directing moment came during Perry’s final episode on the teen drama.The scene captured Perry’s character discovering that his wife, Antonia “Toni” Marchette, had been killed in a drive-by shooting, a moment Priestley remembers filming as a “big camera on a crane pull[ed] away from him in the rain.“Luke and I were just having the best time shooting all of that stuff, and I think back to those kinds of moments a lot now that he’s gone,” Priestley added, choking up.Perry, also known for his role in “Riverdale,” died in March 2019 at the age of 52 after suffering a massive stroke just days earlier.In the scene, Perry, pictured above, discovered that his on-screen wife had been killed.

Getty ImagesIn August 2024, about a month after the death of his “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-star Shannon Doherty, Priestley opened about how losing his longtime castmates had changed the way he viewed his own life.“It has made me think about my own mortality. I woke up on my 50th birthday and I realized that I’d already lived most of my life,” the “Call Me Fitz” told The Mirror.“Luke’s passing away was totally a shock because there was nothing wrong with him,” Priestley added. “We were neighbors as well as friends and spent a lot of time together. We shared so much.” Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
