Why were business cards issued in the name of artists for the Chamber of Commerce elections?
Controversies related to the membership of some artists in the Chamber of Commerce are circulating, while according to one member, some of them are not even aware of their membership. Since this incident happened on the eve of the 10th Chamber of Commerce elections, there have been speculations about the connection between the membership of these individuals and the electoral competitions.
The artists themselves are unaware of their membership. However, everything is not as simple as it seems. Majid Reza Hariri, the head of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce, previously criticized the presence of artists in an economic institution like the Chamber of Commerce and stated that some of these artists may not even know that they are members of the Chamber.
What confirms Hariri’s statements is a video published by Mohammad Motamedi, a singer, in response to the aforementioned news. In the video, he explains that the issuance of these cards is only for participating in brainstorming sessions and transferring the concerns of artists to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance through these meetings.
