The company constructing a skyscraper where 10 workers were killed after an elevator plunged from the 32nd floor has backing from the government, the co-chair of Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Selahattin Demirtaş has said.
“Just be for once human enough to say ‘to hell with these towers – if only none of my workers had died’ as a boss. But you have lost your conscience to the point that while workers are being murdered so that you can earn more money and live in fancier yachts or flats, you say ‘we won’t let the name of our company be stained,’” Demirtaş said Sept. 8 after visiting the site of the accident.
“These towers are like gravestones for mass graves,” he added, denouncing the government’s attempt to evade any thorough investigation regarding the conditions of workers.
