The Journalists’ Day without the Journalists, Ahmadinejad’s Speech Canceled
By Kamangir • Aug 13th, 2007 • Category: Iran, Islamic Republic
The banner reads “A Sunny Day”. It definitely was not a sunny day for the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance and for Ahmadinejad.
Yesterday, a right-wing journalists’ group threw a party for the Journalists’ Day. The party was attended by the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance and, later, Ahmadinejad decided to give a speech in there. Unfortunately, no one showed up and thus Ahmadinejad canceled his speech [Persian]. It is no wonder there is no picture of the attending “crowd” in the state-run news sources (Mehr, Mehr, Fars).
A photographer who attended the “ceremony” describes the hall as “Full of Empty” [Persian].
