A representative of the people of Mahalat and Delijan in the parliament described the unemployment situation of the workers in the scaffolding as worrying and said: "One hundred sixty thousand workers are working in the scaffolding." About 2,000 people lose their jobs in this sector per week.

In response to the question whether sanctions are to blame for the recession or the government, according to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, the representative of the people of Mahallat and Delijan in parliament. He said the sanctions had no effect. Two months have passed since the negotiations. Didn't Mr. Rouhani in the election campaign say that sanctions do not play a part in the problems and that 80% of the problems are due to mismanagement? Either the debate was serious or it wasn't serious. If not serious, they should explain why people were saying the opposite.

He added that there is still no serious look at domestic issues to solve the problems. Our eyes are on foreigners to save the country. As long as this policy is in place and we look to outsiders we will have the same problems.

Alireza Salimi criticized the government and said: "We are talking to the government that you do not want to create jobs, keep these existing jobs." We are facing a growing trend of unemployment in the country.

A representative of the people of Mahalat and Delijan in the parliament described the unemployment situation of the workers in the scaffolding as worrying and said: "One hundred sixty thousand workers are working in the scaffolding." About two thousand people lose their jobs in this sector per week.

"Workers are getting jobless every day," he said. Truckers have become unemployed and the government has failed to create a boom in the housing sector. Government policies have not been dynamic policies in this sector. There are two million jobs in the housing sector that the government has failed to activate.

Asked whether the VAT law can be revised in parliament, the lawmaker said: "The law is financially burdensome and not all the plans that MPs make to increase or reduce public budgets can be tabled in parliament."

"We have repeatedly urged the government to submit a bill to parliament to review the law. If the government does so, we will immediately review the law."

Hojatoleslam Salimi criticized the way the targeted subsidy law was implemented in the 11th government, saying that the government has not subsidized the production sector. Just as the previous government did not fully implement the targeted subsidies law, it has precisely followed the previous government.

"The government has violated and failed to implement targeted subsidies in various sectors," he said. Including this subsidy on the manufacturing sector that has paid nothing to the manufacturing sector.

The MP said the government's revenue in the targeted subsidies sector was much higher than in the previous government because energy carriers had increased prices in several stages. For example, electricity prices have tripled in the past year. Twice as expensive as gas. Water and gasoline have also become expensive.
