Criticizing the significant increase in the prices of basic goods, the Speaker of the Parliament said: "The implementation of the electronic commodity bill plan must be in a way that keeps the price of goods for the consumer constant throughout the year."
According to Ashura News, quoted by Mehr reporter, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, in his speech before his order in today's (Sunday, September 16) public session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stated: First of all, we honor the memory of the martyrs of the September 17 uprising, the mass killing of people by the agents of the Pahlavi monarchy, and I send my greetings and peace to the high spirits of all the martyrs of the glorious Islamic Revolution.
He continued, saying: Today, we are witnessing a significant increase in the prices of basic goods, which has put a heavy pressure on the livelihoods of Iranian households. In particular, the price of chicken, which is one of the main items in the people's food basket, has increased disproportionately in recent months, indicating the ineffectiveness of current policies in controlling inflation and meeting essential needs.
The Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stated: This increase has not only made people's tables smaller, but also jeopardized the food security of low-income groups, and we need urgent action to contain it. There is a solution to this problem on the ground, and it is also emphasized by the President, and that is the implementation of the electronic food bill plan in a way that the price of goods for the consumer remains constant throughout the year.
Ghalibaf continued: This method focuses on providing the minimum daily calorie requirement of each person and, by allocating the exact amount of basic goods such as chicken, meat, and dairy products at a fixed and guaranteed price, prevents the depreciation of support against inflation.
The Speaker of the Parliament stated: The current and past implementation method, which is based only on the fixed rial credit, loses its effectiveness with increasing prices and cannot meet the real needs of the people. We ask the government, following the President's emphasis, to prepare the preparations for implementing this plan as soon as possible, which will provide peace of mind for the people.
