Prince Reza Pahlavi: Privatization of public property under the guise of productivity

Prince Reza Pahlavi wrote on his Twitter page about the privatization of public property under the title of "generative development".

After the proposal of the heads of the three branches of government and Ali Khamenei's approval to form a seven-member committee to sell government property, real estate, and assets in order to secure the government's desired budget in the shortest possible time, many reactions were observed in the media and social networks to this government action.

Also, after Nasim Online reported on a plan that it called strange and secret, Ghorbanzadeh, the head of the Privatization Organization, was forced to explain and the plan to sell surplus government assets was declassified. The same plan proposed by Ali Khamenei that he himself had approved but never made it to the parliament.

Reports and news agencies announced that the sale of government surplus assets actually meant the sale of national assets in the hands of the government, assets that Rouhani's Minister of Economy had estimated at 1,200 billion Tomans in 2015.

Now, the plunder of this national treasure, including land, real estate, properties and assets, signed by the second Supreme Leader, is in the hands of 7 government representatives who are immune from judicial prosecution. This plunder is in addition to the 108 billion that the government has foreseen in the budget bill from the sale of surplus assets. It should be noted that this plan could become the largest national plunder in the history of Iran.

This plan not only provoked a reaction from the majority of people inside and outside Iran, but first Farah Pahlavi expressed her concern about the sale of royal jewels (which government spokesman Ali Jahromi had previously attributed to the Pahlavi family for stealing), and then Prince Pahlavi also reacted to it on his Twitter page.

He wrote on his Twitter page: "The privatization of public property under the name of productivity, privatization, and the gifting of national wealth to dependents and private institutions (public-private) is the result of Khamenei's insatiable thirst for plundering Iran. The plunderers should know that judicial immunity will not be of any use to them, and the property plundered from the Iranian nation must be returned to the nation's treasury."
