The call for elections of the virtual business union has been published, and candidates have until the 6th of February to send their documents to the election executive board.
Attached to the Iran digital economy annotation, it was in November 1402 that Mina Mehrnoush, the head of the virtual business union, announced that the virtual business union elections would be held before January of this year, but before the elections were held, Mehrnoush resigned from his position in this department and The reason for this was the lack of interest of the Iranian Chamber of Guilds in holding elections.
Now, after a delay of almost 30 months, the call for the virtual business union elections has finally been published, and in this call, candidates have time to submit their documents to the election executive board from December 17th to February 6th.
Reza Olfat Nasab, a member of the board of directors of the Virtual Business Union, reacted to this issue in a tweet and said: “The executive board of the elections consists of the Ministry of Privacy, Chamber of Guilds, etc., and holding elections had nothing to do with the union.” “The excuse they used to keep everyone at work for two years.”
In an interview, Olfat Nasab said: The elections of the Virtual Business Union were held in August 2016, and the next round was supposed to be held four years after that, i.e. in 2021. But now, in January 1402, even though two years have passed since the election deadline, it has not yet been implemented.
The Ministry of Silence and the Supreme Supervisory Board refused to hold the election each time with different excuses, and they said that the union should hold the election. If the union is not the organizer of the elections and this is the task of the executive board, the Chamber of Guilds, the Ministry of Peace and a series of other institutions, once the excuse of Ramadan and once the division of the union and in short each time the elections were postponed.
Confirmation of long-term qualifications
But in the end, Olfat Nasab still does not hope for this election. He explained about this: First of all, the call of the union came and this is a good thing, but in the previous series, it took 9 months to confirm the qualifications. If the qualification of the presidential election is confirmed, it will take one month. We hope that this time the institutions will be determined so that this work can be done faster.
Of course, so far the relationship between the government and the private sector organizations has not been so good and there are doubts about the desire to form a union, but now that the head of the union has resigned, we hope that the regulatory organizations will come in to confirm the qualifications of the members and this process will not take time.
