Mostafa Kavakebian, a former MP said on Monday that the budget of organizations under the control of Islamic Republic leader Ali Khamenei is sometimes three to four times more than Iran’s national budget.
Despite being so powerful, Kavakebian said, the organizations under the control of Khamenei are not responsible, "like Mostazafan Foundation, Execution of Imam Khomeini's Order, and Astan Quds Razavi that their budget is sometimes three to four times more” than Iran’s national budget.
Kavakebian who is a reformist asked for a reform in Iran’s constitution.
“The public’s trust to the system has decreased, incidents like 2018 and 2019 protests, downing of the Ukrainian airliner and finally 40 percent of people’s participation in the last election makes this feeling,” he said, “ambiguities have put the system in a deadlock, which the only exist way is reconsideration and change in the constitution.”
