The Parliament of Iran has dismissed this Sunday to the Minister of Economy of the country, Abdolnasser Hemmati, six months after reaching the position of the government’s president, Masud fishshkian, in the midst of an economic crisis due to the collapse of the rial, the national currency.
Hemmati has been unable to overcome a motion of censure in the Islamic Advisory Assembly despite the fact that the Iranian President appeared to grant in person his support for his minister’s work in the face of the hard economic situation that the country is going through, under US sanctions for his nuclear program.
The appearance of the president has been insufficient to convince Parliament, a conservative body that has already starred in several friction with the president, and Hemmati has been finely dismissed with 182 votes in favor of his cessation for 83 against, collects the official Iranian news agency, Irna.
When Pe fishhkian assumed the position in July, the change of the rial had collapsed 584,000 rials per dollar before finishing sinking in recent weeks, when he has come to fall at 930,000 rials for each dollar in the exchange houses of Tehran, the capital of the country.
In 2015, when Iran signed the historic nuclear agreement, three years before the US withdrawal and the return of the sanctions, the change was 32,000 rials per dollar.
