Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Members of the parliament have threatened on more than one occasion to bring the president before the parliament but failed to do so. Ahmadinejad must appear in parliament within a week according to the constitution of the country.
The constitutional deadline allows him to face the lawmakers after the legislative elections on March 2, the first national elections since 2009, when the people protested them and forced the government to crackdown.
The summoning of the president was voted by seventy-nine members of the parliament out of 290 of the lower chamber of the parliament. Ahmadinejad is expected to appear before an open session of the parliament and answer some questions on domestic and foreign policies.
Fars news agency published a list of 10 questions the president will have to answer to. Most of them have to do with failure to enact legislation, to tackle unemployment, or to pay subsidies, but there will be some questions referring to the ties between the president and the supreme leader of Iran, ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
One of the question refers to the sacking last April of the intelligence minister Hojjat ol-Eslam Moslehi, which prompted the ayatollah to reinstate the minister, causing in turn the president not to participate in the government meetings for 11 days.
The Western countries consider that the summoning of the president before parliament is a sign that the sanctions against Iran have produced the anticipated results, and that the Iranian establishment is cracking up.
The West imposed a series of sanctions on Iran after the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed that Iran was conducting some nuclear computer simulations, and that uranium enrichment plants were found deep in some mountains.
