Mayor of Istanbul upping the rhetoric against Canal Istanbul, saying people who “crazily” support the project only for their own profit:

Ignore unemployment, poverty
Aren’t preparing for the earthquake
Underestimate tax burden
Try to ignore new international crises https://twitter.com/ekrem_imamoglu/status/1294507065554108416

The hashtag means “Either the Canal or Istanbul”, which lays out the choice in very stark and definitive terms.

This is the type of boldly spoken opposition that the country and the city needs. It’s also a debate that Mayor Ekrem and Istanbul absolutely have to win.

Just for clarity of translation (difficult to do in 280 characters), he says they “don’t care about the new tax burden”. Actually harsher.
