Former Official Slams Ebrahim Raisi’s Disastrous Policies<\/h3>\n

\"ali-sufi-former-governor-gilan\"<\/p>\n

Criticizing the Iranian regime president’s rhetoric about the so-called economic growth or resistance, Ali Sufi, a former governor of Gilan province told the state-run Baharnews<\/a>: “While the people are suffering and are coming to the streets to protest every day, it is clear that the soaring prices, inflation, and unemployment are getting worse rather than getting better. All economic indicators are negative and only the (ordinary) people are under pressure. There is no basis for saying things like ‘we’re going to neutralize the sanctions’.”<\/p>\n

Sufi added: “Right now, the government has put its hands in people’s pockets. The fact that the government says ‘we must rely on domestic sources’ means that because the West does not allow us to sell oil, we will not have any oil income, and we will cover the government’s deficit from tax increases, inflation, and high prices. These gentlemen are struggling so much in this inefficiency that they resort to such baseless words.”<\/p>\n

Warning about young blood of dissent, a state-run newspaper admitted in an article today that the Iranian youth are frustrated and have no hope to engage in the regime’s political process.<\/p>\n

The Hamdeli<\/a> daily wrote in a column today: “In recent years, the presence of young people in political arenas has become weaker, so that the latter has become evident in the amount and the types of political activities of different universities. The students and youth of the country are no longer interested or willing to work in political fields like their peers in the previous years. Of course, some believe that the youth has no hope for activity. Mohammad Reza Khabbaz, a reformist political activist, also believes that ‘young people are no longer willing to engage in political activity because they are worried about their future’.”<\/p>\n
