In a controversial statement, the head of the National Social Monitoring Center of the Social Affairs Organization pointed to the current state of political parties in the country, stating that the existence of around 250 political parties in Iran makes no logical sense. He emphasized that to manage a society, we must move towards cohesion and synergy, rather than fragmentation and limitless diversity.
The Need for Screening of Parties
This official stated that the party system must move towards screening, asserting: "Managing society based on 250 diverse models not only leads to no results but can also cause confusion and instability." He pointed out that parties should operate in line with national interests and community needs, avoiding fragmentation and unhealthy competition.
The head of the National Social Monitoring Center emphasized that cohesion and synergy among parties can help strengthen democracy and improve social conditions, adding: "We must strive for parties to come closer to each other and prevent the negative consequences of endless competition. This is not only beneficial for the parties but also for society as a whole."
Existing Challenges in Party Politics
The existence of multiple and diverse parties in the country brings its own specific challenges. While each party can represent a particular viewpoint, if this representation leads to serious challenges, it will result in nothing but public distrust. Therefore, this official stressed the necessity of reconsidering the political structure of the country and stated that we must move towards a more cohesive system.
In conclusion, the head of the National Social Monitoring reminded that if parties operate in line with common and national interests, they can play a significant role in the country's progress and contribute to increasing social and political awareness.
