Discussion on Fuel Subsidy and Distribution

And I said that six months before the gasoline incident happened, I gave a speech at the Martyrs' Mosque and said,

“Don't raise gasoline prices.”

Instead of giving gasoline to cars, give it to the people.

One hundred million liters of gasoline are produced daily.

That comes to three billion liters a month. Divide three billion liters among the subsidy recipients,

and every Iranian gets forty liters of gasoline.

Whether they own a car or not, a family of four gets one hundred sixty

liters of gasoline. They can take it and sell it,

or put it in their tank. Then smuggling wouldn't happen anymore. It would be called

gasoline exports.

And that poor wretch who has no vehicle at all, out in some remote village,

would also benefit from this subsidy. Instead of now, when, because you don't even have a car,

you never benefit from

this subsidy. Well, we had said all this.

We had.

Look, I just gave two examples. Do you know what really breaks people's hearts today?

No. If we also…

If we hadn't been there, someone else would have been, and the same thing would've happened.

Nooo, you know what's even more brazen? Worse.

It would've happened. In God's name, those who aren't here have these ideas

which of them did you ever put into practice? Once

you could have made the people owners of the national wealth forever.

You would make the people the owners of national wealth forever.
