Mohammad Reza Badamchi, a member of the reactionary Parliament from Tehran, spoke in Parliament on 18th October. He spoke about the horrific wave of poverty, unemployment and hunger in Iran. He said that due to the ignorance and neglect of some officials, many opportunities have been missed over the past few years. He said: “…the unworthy have placed a lot of obstacles in the way of growth and development of the country, a huge amount of news in media and social research is dedicated to the too bitter and heart-rending content on the devastating tsunami of poverty, hunger and unemployment.”
