BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 6. The Iranian government must take into account opinions of citizens in various fields and address their problems instead of confronting them, President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian said, Trend reports.
He made the statement at the “National Conference on the Status of Islamic Councils and Public Participation in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran” in Tehran.
According to him, the governors of Iranian provinces have been instructed to continuously conduct dialogue with manufacturers, businessmen, traders, and the population. This is also the duty of local executive representatives, and the government will monitor the implementation of this process.
Pezeshkian noted that the Iranian government is trying to eliminate problems that are hindered by law and order with its authority and power.
The Iranian president added that every person facing a problem has the right to have his say. If every responsible person doesn't use his authority to solve the problem, he should be held accountable and prosecuted.
"If the realities in all areas of the country are not taken into account, the country will be dragged into crisis. It is necessary to identify potentials, limitations, and threats. We must evaluate ourselves and then our environment," he pointed out.
Due to the recent sharp loss of value of the Iranian currency against foreign currencies, traders in Iran have been holding protests since December 29. The protesters are demanding serious steps to stabilize the value of the currency and the economic situation.
