Late attempt to regain social capital
According to Iran Gate’s report, it seems that the government has heard the danger signal, but now why do the sequence and frequency of protests in recent years indicate a movement under the skin of society? Now the puzzle of protests has been completed. Since 2009, when the middle class sought an unequal competition scene in the presidential elections and demanded fundamental changes in the electoral institution, the protests have been ongoing.
It took eight years to reach the next station of protests, until this time the livelihood concerns of the people brought them to the streets. This gap was reduced to two years and then one year, until this time a civil movement composed of more diverse social classes emerged, taking to the streets in response to a government murder committed by the moral security police, challenging the government’s authority for about a hundred days.
Did they ring the final bell for the protests?
Many government supporters, who always find the solution in simply eliminating the problem, are now seeking their desired outcome using the same formula and shouting loudly, ‘It’s all over.’
But is the mass of prison wounds and executions, which clearly shows its fruit of hatred, forgettable? The ruling approach for desirable and effective change seems to have a definite answer, and it appears to be negative. The barrier between the government and the people has collapsed, and society has the least belief in slogans and even some efforts like the recent amnesty order. Perhaps the reason for this gap and the loss of social capital should be sought in the behavior and resistance of the regime to not listen to realities.
Do people also forgive?
People, being the rightful demanders and frustrated by inefficiency, should forgive. A brief look at the government’s track record in important indicators and considering the talents and potential of a wealthy country that has been the realm of governance of this system, clearly shows that incompetence and lack of foresight have made the people extremely dissatisfied.
This rebellion and protest has always been suppressed with the most despicable labels and attributed to ideological enemies of the regime, with bullets and imprisonment. And now, in spare time, a separate mind from the regime reminds of a serious danger that the royal amnesty order has been issued. But who really should forgive whom?
Sometimes it is impossible, it is impossible.
