In recent days, the candidates of the presidential elections spoke to the people live on TV.
Meanwhile, Saeed Jalili and Amir Hossein Ghazi Zadeh Hashemi and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf talked about women, family and economy in their cultural roundtable.
Filtering & hijab is a cultural answer, not a security one
Saeed Jalili, in the cultural roundtable program of Sima Channel 2, stated that “the circle of culture should not be seen as small as in the north of Tehran” in response to the question that there is an impression in public opinion that your thoughts will cause maximum pressure on Iran and strictness towards There is a social, cultural and audit field in the field of culture or hijab and the Internet; What have you tried to fix these issues? He said: The enemy announced that he was looking for maximum pressure and applied it.
At that time, the government’s position and approach was that we cannot sell more than 200,000 barrels of oil. We thought that we could defeat this pressure, and we also presented a plan, but friends did not pay much attention, and the government of Shahid Raisi took this premise seriously. and the sale of oil reached 2 million barrels, and the official of the enemy announced that the maximum pressure had failed. This success is achieved if your cultural approach is “we can”.
He continued: If someone’s approach is that culture leads to the progress of the country and has a deep understanding of culture, he does not limit and minimize culture, but rather uses it. Who did not pay attention to culture? How much priority was given to culture in the previous eight years of the presidential government and a program was prepared for it? When culture is a priority, the Secretary of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution should play the same role as the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and the Minister of Culture should play the same role as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. You must have a plan to use the cultural capacities of the people. The circle of culture should not be seen as small as in the north of Tehran, but all of Iran is my home and culture should be seen throughout the country.
Jalili added: Some examples, such as hijab and filtering, have a cultural answer, not a security one. The field of virtual space has different dimensions and is intertwined with people’s lives. There is harm in cyber space, but responsibility should be created, not restrictions. If responsibility is created, its waste will be minimized and its opportunity will increase.
We have criticisms on the hijab bill, the law can be amended
In response to a question about the government’s plan to prevent differences in society due to cultural issues such as the hijab, Jalili said: After the events of 1401, I attended the selection of a university, and in one university, our meeting lasted seven hours, and the question and The answer was presented. There is a question as to why some officials of European countries do not pay attention to the killing of women in Palestine, but they shed crocodile tears for a woman in Iran. It should be investigated why these issues have arisen.
When I was in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I went on a trip to Norway, and a female diplomat in Norway told me that I had been on mission in Iran for four years and that I studied jurisprudence at the university, and she said, “Why don’t you defend your view of women?” Cultural opportunities should be recognized and taken advantage of.
He added: “Our woman has played a glorious role in Iranian Islamic culture.” In the West, it is said that the issue of women and family has reached an impasse. Hijab and women are our strength and we must show our civilization to the world in this world.
In England, women got the right to vote in 1920, and in some countries they got the right to vote in 1950, but in the history of Islam, we have women who pledged allegiance to the Prophet. We have to check how 130 cultural institutions functioned and what effect did they have? In this arena, one should know the scene and not be subjugated by Macron and Biden’s staging.
He also said: If we don’t understand the depth of strategy, we don’t understand cultural issues. The issue of women is a major issue. We have housewives, doctors, villagers, and heads of families, and the government should have a plan for all of them. Everything in the country, be it hijab or other issues, has a law, and the law should not be a matter of taste, and the law is the chapter of the chapter.
Jalili, in response to the question, will you prepare a bill for hijab? He said: The Hijab bill has not yet been finalized. But we believe that whatever is going on is not 100% correct. Strengths should be strengthened and weaknesses should be corrected, but as long as there is a law, that law should be implemented. The law can be corrected. Right now there is criticism of the hijab bill, and the law can be amended, but as long as the law exists, it must be implemented.
We presented a plan to use the 24-hour capacity of mosques
This candidate for the presidential election said about the lack of investigation, follow-up and planning in the field of cultural issues in the shadow government: All viewpoints were raised in the working groups of the shadow government and we were receptive to all viewpoints. In the cultural field, we had many meetings, but they have not been reported, what is important is the output and result of these meetings. In the presidential election of 1400, I presented my cultural programs.
In education, we had many meetings about the output of material costs and the lives of students and teachers that our school plan for education is prepared.
We presented the plan of honoring the family and the effectiveness of cultural budgets to deal with social harms to the government of Shahid Raisi, who ordered to follow up in the government. We prepared a plan to use the 24-hour capacity of mosques.
Ghazi Zadeh Hashemi: The credit package is allocated to families and young couples
Amir Hossein Ghazi Zadeh Hashemi said about handing over affairs to the people: In the government of the people and the family, the absence of the government will not be filled by the people. We should leave the affairs to the people and the government should take the role of facilitation. The government should not make mandatory pricing so that people’s investment is formed in a favorable way. The country’s capital market does not grow because of this.
In the plan of the people’s government, a credit package is allocated to young couples and families. For example, couples are given housing, housing deposit, purchase of dowry goods, or employment resources. This package is not given to people in the form of money; Rather, it will be allocated in the form of credit; Therefore, we have tied employment to marriage.
Credit cards and facilities for dowry and various jobs have been considered in my government, and a significant loan amount will be provided to young couples. This requires extensive support for the element of marriage.
One of the plans that we had before was to give 500 million loan to each newly formed family. With the investigations we have done, this figure can be increased almost twice. We designed three family cards, young family and energy card, which we will describe later.
Qalibaf: We are ashamed of the decrease in the power of families and the purchasing power of people
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said in the program “With the People”: We are ashamed of the high price, inflation and the reduction of the power of households, and to solve it in the 14th government, we have a “service and progress” plan and implementation method, which is guaranteed by my performance record in the past years.
He stated: Nearly 60 to 70 percent of household income is spent on housing, and we must solve this problem. We also have problems in the field of cars and foreigners for which I have a plan.

Qalibaf stated that we are facing difficult problems in the field of health and treatment, and added: These problems are in the field of funding and finding medicine, especially for those who have special diseases. Of course, the 11th parliament took temporary measures for certain patients, but this should be done in a fundamental and permanent way.

In a ceremony of commemoration of the great authorities that passed away in the helicopter accident in Iran, Dr. Jamila Alamolhoda a great Iranian scholar and the widow of President Raesi had a speech.
We have bought her speech below, but before that lets get to know this great lady more.

During the registration days of the 14th presidential election, four women registered to run for Iran’s presidency.

The names of four women can be seen among the people who have registered for the elections.
Due to the existence of the condition of “political male” in the set of conditions set for the president, the presence of women in this arena, regardless of the existing necessities and requirements, has always faced interpretive challenges regarding this expression; That being a “man” is defined in terms of “gender” on the basis of which only men have the possibility to volunteer and enter this field, or that it has another meaning that does not block the possibility of women’s presence, at least in the past, and provides a platform that they also find the possibility of acting in this field based on the qualification criteria.
Zohre Elahian, Raafat Bayat, Hajar Chenarani and Hamida Zarabadi are women who have registered for the 14th presidential election.
Azam Taleghani and Zahra Shojaei were also registered in the previous rounds of the presidential elections, but they did not have the opportunity to be exposed to the people’s choice due to the lack of approval by Iran’s Guardian Council.

Kimia Alizadeh made history by becoming the first Iranian woman to win an Olympic medal back in 2016 and, despite since defecting and all the difficulties involved, the taekwondo athlete is now aiming for gold this year in Paris.
Alizadeh won bronze in the 57kg category in Rio but left her country in 2020 and, after competing at the Tokyo Olympics for the Refugee Olympic Team, the 25-year-old will now represent her new home, Bulgaria.
“Of course it’s hard when you leave your country and you face a lot of new things such as a new language, new culture and new people,” Alizadeh told Reuters.
“It is hard, it’s a new start. I have to start from the beginning and I had to update myself and adapt myself. Of course it’s hard but I just moved on and I went forward for my goal.”
Alizadeh missed out on a medal at the last Olympics but, after securing her place in Paris, she has high ambitions when she participates under the Bulgarian flag.
“Like every other athlete, I am targeting the gold medal in Paris which is our main goal. I wake up every day for the gold medal in Paris and I’m trying my best and I give 100% to achieve this goal,” Alizadeh said.
“Of course it was extra motivation for me after I received my Bulgarian citizenship, everything is much easier for me. Also I faced a lot of new things and I feel more responsible but, yeah, I really like it.”
Alizadeh did have other offers, with the likes of Belgium and Netherlands looking for her to represent them, but in the end she went with her heart and chose Bulgaria.
“It felt like home and I really liked the warm welcome and I was really comfortable and I felt that here is my second home and I want to represent Bulgaria in my competition from now on,” she said.
Having already faced an Iranian opponent at the last Olympics, Alizadeh won’t be fazed if it happens again but said it was a strange emotion.
“It’s a weird feeling because in Tokyo I fought against Iran, and she (Nahid Kiani) was my best friend and my room-mate. It’s really a weird feeling I can’t explain it in words,” Alizadeh said.
“But this is the fight, this is the game, and every athlete is doing their best to represent their country.”
Alizadeh became a hero to Iranian women after her exploits in 2016, before leaving the country due to oppressive conditions.
Now, she can still inspire women in Iran, along with people in her adopted country, as she becomes Bulgaria’s first taekwondo Olympic athlete.
“Being a role model is hard because you feel a lot of responsibility in what you’re doing because lots of especially young people watch you and they see what are you doing and what are you saying because they want to follow your way,” she said.
“And it’s hard, it’s a lot of responsibility. And I’m always thinking I have to do the correct thing and the right thing to show them the right way.”
