Larijani's criticism of opportunistic revolutionaries is valid; but what is Larijani's own view on the distribution of positions in the country?
Ahmad Zeidabadi wrote on his Telegram channel:
Ali Larijani: “The opportunistic revolutionary says we are revolutionaries, and all positions must be taken by us.”
The criticism is completely valid, principled, and accurate. However, I would like to know what Mr. Larijani’s own view is on the distribution of positions in the country. Does he believe that all executive, legislative, judicial, military, technical, and civil positions should be distributed without the slightest ideological, political, or ethnic discrimination based on the qualifications of every Iranian and according to the level of public support for them? Or does he just want to slightly broaden the circle to include his allies as well?
If Mr. Larijani’s view is the former, then he should clearly and unequivocally express it so that we can consider him among the politicians who believe in the need for a "national perspective" in governance. But if his view is the latter, then one must say: he’s beating a dead horse because the same logic that deprives other Iranians of full political participation also excludes him and his supporters from the circle!
Once the principle of discrimination is accepted, it naturally has no limit, and "purification" will reach its extreme point!
