Der Chef läßt die Parlamentarier tanzen

Vielleicht muß die Höhe von Schmiergeldzahlungen nachverhandelt werden. Oder die iranischen „Parlamentarier“ wollen noch einmal durchdiskutieren, was ein „Parlament“ eigentlich genau ist. Oder die wahnsinnig interessanten Vorstellungsreden der intellektuell und persönlich sehr ansprechenden Persönlichkeiten, die Ahmedinejad für sein Kabinett ausgewählt hat, sind etwas zu lang geraten. Jedenfalls ist die Abstimmung über das Kabinett auf Donnerstag verschoben worden. Die gestern ausgesprochene Vermutung , Khamenei könnte etwas mit der überraschend glatt laufenden Ministervorstellung zu tun haben, konkretisiert sich derweil. enduring america meldet:

The reformist Parleman News has a useful summary of today’s discussions of the Cabinet nominees. The headline claim is that the Supreme Leader has unofficially asked Parliament to give its approval, a step that would support our interpretation of a working Khamenei-Ahmadinejad alliance (0730 GMT) until the Cabinet is established.

More on that supposed Supreme Leader letter urging MPs to confirm the Ahmadinejad Cabinet. It is being reported that one of the Ministerial nominees is circulating the letter.

Khabar Online is reporting that the Supreme Leader is placing further pressure on MPs to validate the entire Cabinet (h/t New York Times):

With the publication of news from Majles Representatives based on the announcement from the Supreme Leader that he prefers a positive vote for all proposed Ministers, it is predicted that all 21 ministers will win votes of confidence.

It is said that the Speaker of Majles (Ali Larijani) informed the Representatives of Majles about the Supreme Leader’s desire to have all Cabinet nominees approved.

If this news is accurate, considering that the Majles unanimously accepts the Supreme Leader’s rule, Khabar Online believes it’s worhty of prediction that all of Ahmadinejad’s suggested ministers will win votes of confidence.

In a public meeting in Majles today this morning, conservatives Ali Mottahari and Gholamreza Mesbahi-Moghaddam emphasized that the conversations that have been brought up about the Supreme Leader’s personal viewpoint about the need to give votes of confidence to all Ministers  must be documented.
