The parliament members are not talking about the astronomical payments received by the national broadcaster from Mobarakeh Steel.
Following the publication of the investigative report by the Industries and Mines Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly regarding the violations of Mobarakeh Steel Company in Isfahan, which amounts to more than 92 trillion rials, the Public Relations Department of the national broadcaster issued a statement denying the accusations against them. They claimed that the payment of 221 billion and 270 million rials by Mobarakeh Steel Company to the broadcaster was mentioned. These claims, which refer to the final report of the investigative commission on the company’s performance, are unfounded and lack thorough and expert examination, causing public confusion and discrediting the national media.
The media is lying. Where is your evidence?
This claim is made despite the existence of documents related to this payment, and the broadcaster also announced two days ago that this payment was for a period of 10 years.
Moreover, this claim is published while the broadcaster, during its one-year operation, not only uses initial and secondary budgets but also earns substantial income from advertisements.
Nevertheless, some parliament members have stated in their discussions that they have no interest in addressing the astronomical advertising revenues of the national broadcaster, and it seems that once again, no one has the power to influence the extensive financial operations of the broadcaster.
