The Kermanshah representative in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, criticizing the government's economic performance, expressed concern over rising prices and public dissatisfaction. In this regard, he pointed to the factors that have influenced the increase in prices and said: "Part of this price increase is related to sanctions, economic pressure, and wartime conditions."
Food Voucher; A Challenge for Lower Income Deciles
This member of parliament continued to address the issue of the food voucher and said: "The increase in the food voucher amount is not intended for all income deciles." He emphasized that the goal of this measure is to assist vulnerable and low-income groups, and it should not be expected that all deciles will benefit from this increase.
These statements come at a time when many economic experts believe that the current government's policies cannot meet the daily needs of the people and that changes in the economic approach are necessary. The Kermanshah representative also noted that neglecting the economic and livelihood problems of the people could lead to social dissatisfaction.
Impact of Sanctions on People's Livelihood
He also referred to the direct impacts of sanctions on people's livelihoods and said: "Sanctions have not only affected the country's economy but have also impacted the daily lives of the people. In a situation where people are struggling with financial problems, it is expected that the government will adopt more effective measures."
These remarks by the Kermanshah representative come as the government seeks to provide solutions to improve the economic situation and reduce pressure on vulnerable groups. However, given the current conditions, it seems that there is a long way to go before the people's trust in the improvement of the economic situation is restored.
