NCRI – On Sunday, December 4, the Iranian regime’s parliament became tense during a speech by regime’s President Hassan Rouhani who was scheduled to present the budget bill.
When he tried to deliver a speech about the foreign achievements of his administration, some MPs got up and protested and the parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, continuously attempted to silence them.
Rouhani in his speech expressed concern about the 10-years extension of the (U.S.) sanctions and said: “If the U.S. Senate’s approved bill, is implemented, it would be a gross violation of JCPOA which will be confronted with our firm response, we also consider signing the Senate bill by the U.S. President contrary to America’s commitments, they will face our appropriate reaction and at this week’s meeting of the Supervisory Board of JCPOA enforcement, we will adopt necessary decisions.”
According to reports, concurrent with Rouhani’s speech at the parliament, more than 2000 retired education and cultural employees and workers as well as those whose assets and investment were looted by Saaman al-Hojaj financial and credit institution staged protest gathering in front of the parliament.
The retired educators were holding placards on which was written: “We demand the retirement wages of Education staff be synchronized with (pension of) other ministries” and “Poverty line $900, retirees’ (pensioners’) wages $300.”
