Saeed Jalili is the favorite in the election of Iran

On the eve of the Iranian election, is emerging as the favorite figure of Saeed Jalili, the man who for six years led the delegation to the controversial Iranian nuclear talks. This is a personality that comes from the more convinced of the Islamic revolution and represents the most radical face of the eight competitors in the competition. It is safe to predict that with his election the relations with the West could become even more problematic than the current ones. His line of conduct in the negotiations, based on the strict application of support for Iran's right to nuclear energy, against any Western interference, allowed him to gain the trust of the Iranian ruling class and the support of the paramilitary the Basij, which were key to the electoral victory of incumbent President Ahmadinejad. Another factor is the close proximity to the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with whom he collaborated on several occasions of his political career, developing a strong personal relationship. According to some American columnists Jalili would be involved in the repression that followed the demonstrations for the re-election of Ahmadinejad, which took place at the end of the previous elections in 2009. Studies of the favorite in the elections were held Imam Sadiq University, majoring in Political Science at the training school of the leaders of the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij, which combine advanced education courses to Islamic theology. The weak point of Jalili, however, could be the lack of experience in managing domestic politics and, above all, the lack of economic vision for the resolution of heightened crisis gripping the country and that is the real crux, although so undeclared election Iranian. For now Jalili was not too unbalanced on counter-statement that, should he be elected, be deemed to be put in place to raise the country, not going beyond the statements perfectly in line with the current political orthodoxy. The intention is to reduce dependence on oil revenues, those subject to sanctions, to put in place a sort of economy of resistance that could lead the country to victory against what he called the conspiracies of the West and that is, in fact, economic sanctions. For the western world it is a program completely against that continues in the wake of Ahmadinejad and which promises to bring the current state of exasperation. Jalili's strategy appears to be fairly clear: focus its electoral program on issues abroad, leaving out or putting them in second floor internal ones, but the Iranian people is weakened by a situation that is lengthening for too long and, though it is very sensitive to issues nationalist character of all the candidates, not just the favorite, will bring recipes adapted to solve the serious problem that affects the economic and social situation of the country, to avoid the large amount of abstention that you are announcing in the country, which threatens to delegitimize at the start, anyone will achieve victory in the polls.
