NCRI – An Iranian MP referred to the industrial towns which were shut down in Iran and stated:”the government does not have a practical and transparent plan to activate the industrial town. We do not expect the government to create jobs rather it has to retain the current occupations.”
On 20 December 2016, Naghavi Hosseini had an interview with the terrorist Qods Force news agency, known as Tasnim ; pointing to the high percentage of unemployment in Iran. He also stated:”the crisis of unemployment is tangible for people and the authorities and it is not only specified by a region, town or a province rather all parts of the country suffer the crisis.
The figure presented by the government estimates that 6 to 8 millions of people are nearly unemployed. Despite the variation in figures, a crisis has not been managed properly and the situation will be way more difficult in the future.
The MP of the Mullahs’ regime added:”due to economic recession, any of these towns failed to achieve their objectives and the new industrial unites were not established in the town in recent years. In addition to that, the old towns were also fully and half closed or have stopped their production lines.”
Naghavi Hosseini referred to the process of economic activities in the city of Varamin and claimed that the sugar factory of Varamin which has more than 70 years experience in production was the only unit that had economic activities and productions in the city. Nevertheless, this factory has been unfortunately closed with 400 workers for the last two years. This issue shows that the government does not have a systematic and clear plan for employment.
MP Naghavi Hosseini also claimed that the figures of job creation are false. He reiterated:”the president talks about launching 17 thousand economic enterprises while they were not established to this amount, as expected. In addition to that, those enterprises received a deadline from the banks to pay their debts. By looking through the trends, it seems that nothing has happened to the business and manufacturing centers in practice.”
The regime’s MP also expressed that the government is not able to maintain existing jobs and said:”we are in a difficult situation and the government does not have a systematic plan to resolve the issue of unemployment or to create jobs. We do not expect the government to create jobs rather we ask it to preserve the current occupations instead.”
