Iran .. The spread of poverty and Corona are fueling protests against the regime
Beth: On December 21, 2020, the media affiliated with the Iranian regime shed light on various aspects of the social and economic problems prevailing over the citizens.
Arman newspaper published an article entitled “Do not tighten the screws on workers any more.” In which it indicated that the anti-citizens and workers ’decisions taken by governments are in the interest of government employers at the expense of the workers’ society, she wrote:
"Inflation of 40% or perhaps more, in addition to the devaluation of the national currency and the ability of financial coverage on salaries, lead to unfortunate conditions for many members of the large and important workers community who bear the burden of passing economic goals on their shoulders while spending their livelihoods on subsistence."
The provision of bread through installments or loans on the part of a group of citizens confirms the bitter and unprecedented truth that the rule of the mullahs imposed on the lives of citizens.
This comes while the Corona crisis made citizens go through increasingly difficult living conditions, which resulted in unemployment for many workers and the poor and disadvantaged segments, as they lost a minimum of income they were getting before the pandemic crisis.
The result of this situation is nothing but widespread poverty among workers and the rest of the poor segments, a decrease in their purchasing power due to inflation and the high cost of living on one side, and they received a small amount of salaries, less than a fifth of the poverty line in most cases from another party.
The newspaper "Kar and Karker" refers to the inability of workers and citizens to hold simple ceremonies on the occasion of "Night of Yalda" (the longest night in the Iranian year), which is held once a year and wrote:
A simple table for the night of Yalda, which includes a kilo of medium-quality nuts, three kilograms of pomegranate, and one melon for four kilograms, costs an average family of 3 people, an amount of 249 thousand tomans.
For 65% of the country's population, preserving traditions is no longer easy. Contract workers or occupants in small, overheated workshops cannot afford to spend 300 or 400 thousand tomans for one night. In addition, this category of workers and retirees, who receive salaries of less than 3 million tomans a month, are no longer able to demonstrate as a loner without a camel ”(Kar and Karker newspaper, December 21, 2020).
It is clear that the anti-people government and the mullahs' regime are seeking to spend and confiscate the resources of citizens in order to practice repression, and the consequences of provoking wars in Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria. Of costs.
Moreover, the government institutions and the government are full of their pockets is something that the author of the article pointed out to the newspaper "Jahan Sanat" and wrote frankly:
"The government's economic road plan was written in such a way that the institutions affiliated to it would obtain enormous interests. Despite this, there is no impact on reducing poverty and unemployment and improving the work environment.
The flames of the protests increased

These are the protests that threw terror into the hearts of senior regime officials and agents and made them react, warning that ignoring this matter would lead to dangerous repercussions for the regime.
The repercussions described by a government agent in the newspaper "Mashreq" October 26, 2020 under the title "The field of popular discontent full of thorns" in fear that a spark will fall in these thorns to reach the flames of popular discontent with the mullahs' regime.
