Raisi’s Blame Game to Dodge Responsibility from Abadan’s Metropol Fiasco Receives Backlash<\/h3>\n

\"gholamreza-shariati-former-khuzestan-governor\"<\/p>\n

Following the collapse of the Abadan Metropol Complex on May 23 and the consequent nationwide outrage, as the government of Ebrahim Raisi was trying to dodge responsibility and scapegoat Gholamreza Shariati, the former governor of Khuzestan province, Shariati slammed Raisi in an open letter<\/a> on Thursday, June 2.<\/p>\n

Shariati wrote to Raisi: “The responsibility for the Metropol incident is entirely on you, but you seem to have found the people’s mourning and suffering as an opportunity to settle the political account.”<\/p>\n

“By covering up, deceit and distortion, you are covering up your inefficiency and responsibilities,” he added. “Instead of answering why you did not pay attention to the warnings, you are blaming me!? How did any person or official permit business units such as coffee shops, juice shops, pharmacies, etc. allow to operate in this half-finished building? And unfortunately, many victims came from the same units and died unjustly. While the building was not yet finished and had not been approved by supervisors, why was it still operating as an unsafe construction site?”<\/p>\n
