People's reactions to Ali Khamenei's naming of the new year
The Iranian people reacted strongly to Ali Khamenei's naming of the new year.
Ali Khamenei named the New Year 1403 "a leap in production with public participation," but Iranians reacted to this naming on social media, viewing its content as a sign of greater poverty in society and the expansion of government rents.
A user on social media, citing his experiences over the past years, wrote: "There will be no production leap nor public participation, just a series of new rents based on the slogan of the year, that's all."
"Matahrah," another user on the X social network, wrote: "For production with the participation of the people, the system, on the one hand, has become so helpless in improving the economic situation that it seeks help from a maximum of 30 percent of the population, and on the other hand, it reduces the people's protests to only an economic issue and ignores other conflicts such as the compulsory hijab and the unprecedented treatment of civil activists."
Another user, while pointing out the futility of these slogans, wrote: "Your Excellency officially said we made a mistake by including the name inflation in last year's slogan. We will continue with the same unmeasurable names as before."
Another person wrote on his personal page, mocking the slogan: "This naming is a public order to reach into people's pockets. It is clear from the slogan of the year that we have a large contribution to increasing the government budget."
Another user also responded to this naming, saying, "The interesting thing is that the slogans remain the same every year."
"Mojtaba Davoodi" also wrote on X Network, while pointing out the hidden aspects of the aforementioned naming in obtaining government revenues from public sources: "The slogan of the year was 'Leap in production with public participation' for more taxes, and only the second part of the slogan has been removed."
"Mohammad Hossein Karimipour" also pointed out that the naming by Ali Khamenei was useless and wrote: "By the power of God, every issue that became the slogan of the year was destroyed during that same year. We don't have one more slogan of the year: Every year, we regret last year!"
