Mir Hossein Mousavi in his second video-internet interview with Kaleme... News Agency talked about the events that happened on November 4 as well as about the plans for eliminating subsidies (by the coup government) and the experts’ warnings against doing so.l Mir Hossein in this interview in respond to a question about the November 4 said: “This year’s November 4 th because of how people took the streets and remained on the scene turned to a great memory for our nation.” He added that after the revolution gradually the ideas and values behind these ceremonies were forgotten and changed. In another part of this interview, Mousavi said: “On November 4 th, they had brought an army to confront the people. Unfortunately there were intrusions. Dividing the people and enforcing limitations created new circumstances for the Green movement.” He continued: “First it was the number of armed forces put on the streets to confront people. In the history of the revolution, I had never seen so many forces placed at important points.” While pointing out the heavy security that he noticed his commute to the Cultural Center for the Art in the morning before the demonstrations, he said: “I told myself even if today nobody shows up on the streets, this is a victory for the Green path of hope. It (brining all these forces) show how afraid they are of it and what a significant movement it is.” He added: “A country that is governed under the name of Islam and have had a great revolution should not continue its path by terrorizing people.” While reminding that the Islamic Revolution made people brave, he added: “The first impression of all those armed forces on November 4 was creating terror to tackle people’s greatest asset (their bravery) despite the fact that if we want to have a prosperous nation and county we should emphasis on this asset (people’s bravery). This is what was being attacked on November 4 and if you ask me if they achieved their goal; in my opinion, they did not.” By pointing out some of the horrific images of brutal attacks on people by the security forces, he added: “They attacked people but people were not afraid. If you look at the footages from the streets, you see that they were beating people but people were not running away. They go on the other side of the street and continue chanting their slogans.” Mir Hossein added: “The next outcome of this kind [brutal] confrontation is anger, which will lead some to go beyond the basic slogans that the Green movement emphasises on them, which are abiding to the constitution and executing all its principles in the country without personal intervention.” Mousavi while emphasising on loyalty to the constitution as the share point between all members of the Green movement and said: “People should note that no matter how much they (the government’s agents) show brutality, people should not fall in the trap of brutality. It is necessary for us to maintain our logic and our cool, and remain loyal and preserve our values and bravery to express our beliefs in the society.” While emphasising that Green movement wants peace and remains peaceful, he added: “We want freedom as a natural and innate demand in human and we will pay any price necessary for it.” In another part of his interview, Mir Hossein Mousavi, commented on the plans by the coup government to eliminate subsidies and the experts’ warnings against doing so. He said that the government itself in the name of the bill indicates that subsidies at this time are necessary but then says that they are harmful. Mousavi reminded that in all countries there are some subsidies but the issue is how the government distributes it to get the best benefit. Mousavi reminded that the elimination of subsidies will lead to increase in prices. He added that just because the government sells oil cheaper in the country than to the foreign countries, it should not conclude that it is paying subsidy because other prices in the country are also cheaper. He questioned if the government is also willing to increase the wage of workers comparable to what is paid in other countries. In another part of his interview Mousavi said: “What worries me is that the government does not have a comprehensive plan under the supervision of the parliament.” He continued: “Because of the political and personal differences they have caused a lot of problems for the people. We witness that the government does not have an unbiased view of the national interest.” He added that after the elimination of the subsidies, the government will only help those sectors that it favours and will not give any money to the others that are not favoured with it. He continued: “People don’t know what happened to the 300 billion dollar oil money in the past four years; where it was spent; and what its outcome was.

Video of First Detailed Interview with Mousavi Since the Presidential Election (part two) / ویدیوی اولین گفت و گوی تفصیلی میرحسین موسوی پس از انتخابات (قسمت دوم) YouTube links: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rjn6U0tqDw Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SIiR0AOXAw Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...Hhd7pENu62M مهندس میر حسین موسوی:عده ای نفعشان بر این است که در جامعه اختلاف باشد/تکیه بر تحجر کشور را دچار بن بست می کند Mir Hossein Mousavi: Some have their interests in having a divided society. / Taking the fanatic approach will take the country to a dead-end I feel that the tendency of power to become totalitarian has led to a structured corruption of power in different branches of the establishment. Considering the Imam's viewpoint, unity is not achievable based on political loyalties. The union approved by Imam, is a union that relies on components like national interests and a healthy survival of the Islamic establishment where your connections to power through family, friendship and acquaintance do not matter. One of the issues that was raised during the election was on whatever happened to the 300 Billion Dollars (of Oil revenues) During the war, if an issue of financial corruption was raised it was immediately attended to. The smallest corruptions was magnified to a great degree (due to the ongoing war.) In the past, if there was an issue of a missing ten thousand dollars, without record of spending, this could have caused the fall of the then government. While now, the issue is on billions of dollars and nobody seems to care. If it was the early years of the revolution, this very legislation to provide direction to the subsidies (referring the Ahmadinejad's legislation to remove subsidies within 3 years) would not have been raised the way it is now. This legislation is not bad in itself. But [right now] we (referring the Ahmadinejad's government) are on one side talking about removing all the subsidies causing gas prices to increase, while on other side we are refusing the underground subway system its budget. On one side people's daily affairs would be interrupted under the pressure of high gas prices, and on other we put no effort on public transportation. This would cause serious problems for people. If it becomes common in a system (of government) for people to see that their rights are trampled without any objection, that system will move towards violence and dictatorship.I sincerely believe that granting multi-billion dollar contract to Sepah (IRGC) is neither in the interest of the whole regime nor in the interest of Sepah.There are individuals who live in this way. I sincerely do not know if they have faith or are religious or not. There is a common atmosphere of accusations. We have people who have a very corrupt record, if it is viewed with the viewpoint of the Imam. Now they say that this great popular movement is all connected to the MKO. The interests of the country is in defining the circle of “insiders” such that there is very little left on the outside [allowing almost everyone a voice.] otherwise, we have to doubt our own behavior. We simply cannot put aside thousands of prominent managers who have served this country.What is happening these days is that the margins have become bigger than the context. The context has become very slim. I just say it symbolically: in this margin, we have many managers and clerics, a few marja’ a few ex-presidents, and even an ex-head of parliament. You can’t call this margin. This is a transaction. In a situation like this, those who have remained in the main context have to rely on garrisons because they don’t have the support of such a big margin. And this is what has happened: in order to prevent coma, we became numb and insensitive as if suffering from leprosy. It is in our country’s interest to agree on a fundamental and important matter: the constitution. You and I may have difference of opinion but we have to agree on the constitution to solve our problems. We should put aside our differences and attempt to reform.The people who participated in the revolution didn’t come to the scene to face so many problems. They came for a better life and for freedom.
