Press Digest

Economic Demands
KAYHAN: President Rouhani admits that the main concern for people is the economy. He says his campaign rivals are also saying the same thing. However, he goes on to maintain that life is not just about economy. No one could possibly stop the flow of information technology. We must prepare ourselves for today’s modern world. We must however use the technology appropriately. It is impossible to say no to the new technology.

Political Tranquility
RESALAT: Ayatollah Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi has signed up for the presidential race with the slogan of restoring tranquility for people. Good governance needs political tranquility. This way we can make all the correct decisions. This is the same thing that our Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has on several occasions laid emphasis on. The revolutionary forces have always worked round the clock to maintain law and order as well as tranquility at times of crisis.

Broken Promises
SIASAT ROOZ: When looking back, President Rouhani sees a pile of promises that he is yet to deliver on. He promised to deliver them over the course of his presidency but he failed. Even those that he did failed to bring any good to ordinary people. This is while he and his team continue to brag about their achievements. When they go to sleep they know better than anyone else that this is all talk and no action. 

Unemployment Rate
VATAN EMROOZ: Lawmaker Kazem Jalali says last year there were 2.7 million people out of job. Add to this the 4.8 million part-time workers and the sum is a staggering 7 million people out of work. This is while presidential advisor Masoud Nili claims the government has created 1.2 million new jobs each and every year. This is something that even some of President Rouhani’s close associates dispute outright.
