With less than three months until the next presidential election, the government of Hassan Rouhani and the parliament have found a solution to address what they call the oil violations of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. A portion of these "oil violations" will be addressed in the budget bill for the year 1396 (2017). At the same time, Hamid Reza Baqaei, the executive deputy of Ahmadinejad, has announced his candidacy for the 1396 elections, and Rahim Mashaei, Ahmadinejad's first deputy, has described him as a symbol of the integrity of the ninth and tenth governments. Radio Farda has discussed this topic with Fereydoun Khavand, an economics professor in Paris, and Morteza Kazemian, a political analyst residing in France.
