Masoud Pezeshkian: People are living hand to mouth.
The representative of the people of Tabriz in the parliament stated that the main reason for the government’s inability to fulfill its promises is not using experts. He said that inflation was supposed to be halved and then reduced to single digits, but not only was it not halved, it has terrifyingly increased several hundred times. They were supposed to build one million houses, but not only in four years, even if they are in power for eight years, they cannot fulfill their promise.
He continued, people are living hand to mouth, and we do not see these issues. We did not act on the slogans we raised about justice. Inflation was supposed to be halved and then reduced to single digits, but not only was it not halved, it increased terrifyingly several hundred times. They were supposed to build one million houses, but not only in four years, even if they are in power for eight years, they cannot fulfill their promise.
Mr. Pezeshkian stated that they were supposed to create employment for one million people, which they also did not fulfill. We make many statements and promises in theory, but in practice, it is not so easily achievable. The main reason for the government’s inability is that it does not use experts and public participation based on merit and competence.
