Governments try to maintain the stability of their government by keeping the price of food, especially bread, at an optimal level. Because it is the nightmare of the government from eruption of people protests
Government officials are trying to show that the reason for the increase in the price of bread is the increase in workers’ wages. But the fact is that the main reason for the increase in the price of bread should be found in the looting of public wealth in more than 4 decades of this system’s rule.
According to the Iranian Human Rights Society, the increase in the price of bread has caused panic among low-income groups. People are used to the daily increase in the price of goods, and if one day they do not become more expensive. It will surprise them. At present, bread is the mainstay of the people, especially the lower seven deciles of society. With the increase in food prices, people have reduced their consumption and replaced it with bread. But with bread becoming more expensive, there is no substitute for it.
Governments try to maintain the stability of their government by keeping the price of food, especially bread, at an optimal level. The beginning of many revolutions, such as the Russian and French revolutions, has been the rise in the price of bread. In Iran, the lack of bread was the spark of protests that led to constitutionalism.
Scarcity of bread in some provinces
In recent days, a shortage of bread reported in many provinces, including Ardabil, Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan and Fars. According to media reports, people have to wait in line for hours to get this basic product.
The government is trying to quietly make bread more expensive by presenting a price reform plan. The general manager of grain in Zanjan province, while announcing this plan, said that there will be no price increase. But for the people, the tactic of denial and implementation by the heads of government is not new.
Despite denying the rising price of bread, the members of parliament show their fear of the explosion of people’s anger. And warn the government leaders about this. It is very clear that the president’s government reached a dead end in providing the people’s livelihood due to economic bankruptcy.
Government also try to show that the reason for the increase in the price of bread is increasing workers’ wages. But the fact is that the main reason for the increase in the price of bread should be found in the looting of public wealth in more than 4 decades of this system’s rule.
Nightmare of governing a society that is ready to explode.
With the daily increase in the price of food items in recent years, most of themremoved from people’s livelihood baskets. Due to the explosive nature of society, the increase in the price of bread can be a spark for the beginning of protests that have no end in sight. The government’s thought of carrying out this plan is also afraid of this issue.
People have well understood the reason for the deterioration of their economic situation. The nationwide uprising in the past months showed that the only way to get rid of this situation is to end the theft of public wealth, which will only be possible by changing the entirety of this system.
