Mr. Mirsalim! Stop Playing with People's Lives!/ Drone Witness Haji-Zadeh or Mirsalim's Tiba?

In a strange remark, Mirsalim attributed road accident deaths and injuries among citizens to bad driving or unsuitable weather, and called any link between vehicle quality and fatalities a 'sophism'.

In a strange comment, Mirslim attributed the death and injury of his compatriots in road accidents to bad driving or inappropriate weather and called any connection between car quality and death "false"!

Mashreq Policy Service - In "under the microscope", beyond mere reporting, we try to reveal the hidden layers of officials' performance and the roots of management crises with a detailed and dissection look. From criticizing the performance of managers to analyzing the political games of factions and the behavior of elites; In this section, we put instrumental politics and factional conflicts under the microscope in order to go beyond the slogans and get to the root of political and management crises.

Mustafa Mirslim, a former parliament member and one of the political figures who from time to time gets controversial in the media with his controversial defenses of the recklessness and defects of domestic car manufacturers, in an interview with a controversial approach, he blamed the drivers for the road disaster and called the technical defects of domestic cars just a fallacy.

Mirslim also claims that "we don't have the money", and declares his 100% opposition to imports and believes that we should let the domestic car manufacturers (which he claims have been privatized) do their work and wait to see what happens.

In a part of the interview, he claimed the price competitiveness of "Tiba" with global car standards. It should be mentioned that he considered the 206 car to be competitive with Land Cruiser.

According to him, since gasoline is free in Iran, people should not expect high-quality cars and should build cheap cars with these.

The recent interview of Engineer Mustafa Mirslim, a former member of parliament, with one of the news channels can be considered a collection of projection and distance from the realities of the society. While the public opinion and grieving families on the roads are waiting to hear an answer for the technical defects and low safety of domestic cars, their answers are not only not a salve for the people's wounds, but a kind of salt to the livelihood and security pains of the society.

In a strange comment, Mirslim attributed the death and injury of his compatriots in road accidents to driving or bad weather and called any connection between the quality of the car and the number of accident victims "false"! This look is crossing the red line of fairness. How can you exonerate a system where the brakes, airbags, and body are far from minimum global standards and blame people for "their own death"? The void of acceptance of responsibility screams in his words.

The most humorous part of this justification of the situation of car manufacturers is the sentence "Tiba can compete with foreign cars in price", which is perhaps the most controversial part of this conversation. Comparing products that have been criticized by experts and people for many years due to safety and technical weaknesses with reputable global brands, not only does not show "support for national production", but also mocks people's economic intelligence. People spend all their savings and sometimes heavy loans to buy these domestic products; Is the reward of this loyalty to hear such analysis? This claim is the justification of the "technology laziness" of car manufacturers who did not see the need to compete behind the high wall of monopoly.

In another part of his speech, he implied that people should not expect cheap cars with free fuel prices. Mr. We send! The people whom you accuse of free eating are the ones who turn the wheels of this industry by buying expensive and low-quality products.

We believe that supporting national production is "sacred". But real support means forcing the manufacturer to "improve quality" and "reduce prices". Sacred national production, i.e. the production of an all-Iranian witness drone worth 20,000 dollars in order not to depend on the import of multi-million dollar drones. And more importantly, trying to reach a position where, in addition to meeting domestic needs, advanced countries will line up to buy these drones and their technology. Now, tell me, with this concrete model, what position should be imagined for domestic car manufacturers after decades of ruling the country's car market?!

By fully defending the status quo, you have practically pulled the brakes on the growth of the auto industry. An automobile industry that cares about its competitors will never innovate. His claim that "Let Iran Khodro and Saipa do their work" is exactly the version that has brought us here for decades: the production of old cars at a price that ordinary people cannot afford, and the lives that are lost on the roads every day.

Sir, we are sending! Defending the ideals of the revolution is defending the "oppressed", not defending the "inefficient cycles" that lead people to slaughter in the name of national production. Mr. Mirslim should know that with this literature, they not only do not help the automobile industry, but also increase the distance between the people and the authorities. We hope that instead of blaming the people, they will once and for all return from the position of "supporting industry managers" to "the voice of the people"; Because the revolution belongs to the same people whom you easily accuse of "illiteracy in driving".
