Azerbaijan, Baku, Jun.3/ Trend F.Eminli
Presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaee said that he will allocate Green Subsidy to the agriculture sector.
The presidential candidate made the remarks in the northern city of Sari, the IRIB News Agency reported.
As part of "Green Subsidy", as Rezaee called it, he promised to increase Iranian's cash subsidy by 650,000 rials (53 dollars based on the official rate of USD, and 18.5 dollars based on the free market rate), adding that increasing the amount won't lead to inflation.
Currently Iranians receive 450,000 rials rials (36.7 dollars based on the official rate of USD, and 12.8dollars based on the free market rate) of cash subsidy.
Rezaee also said that the next administration has to change its relationship with the people, because the present relationship is designed for survival and not progress and growth, the Mehr News Agency reported.
He said that Iran has made great strides in politics and security, but at the cost of public welfare and the economy.
Independent candidate Mohsen Rezaee said that if he become president he will reform the present relationship between the people and the government, by changing from scratch the very foundation of the next administration.
According to the presidential candidate, government is just one of the engines of growth, along with the market, democracy, science, and religion.
He said that he will form shadow ministries, think tanks and economic states within the framework of a federal economic model.
He also said that he will allow local communities and councils to run their own business and governments.
Mohsen Rezaei is the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the current Secretary of the Expediency Council.
Iran will hold the 11th presidential election on June 14, 2013.
The voters will select the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election. The Guardian Council has vetted the candidates for qualifications.
