🔸 The appointment of Hossein Tabesh-Nejad as the manager of Alai Mahestan Petrochemical has been accompanied by widespread reactions and controversies.
Political Interventions and Financial Consequences
🔸 According to published information, this appointment was pursued by Mohadd and Gholamreza Tajgardoon in the Minister of Oil's office and was also directly pressured by the minister.
🔸 Hossein Tabesh-Nejad had previously been removed from the presidency of the Morvarid Petrochemical Complex due to allegations of corruption and incompetence and had left the Assaluyeh region. After that, with the support of Mahmoud Fakhrayi and Karim Pahlevani, as well as assistance from Javad Badri, he was appointed as the CEO of Farabi Petrochemical for a period; a term during which, according to critics, he left behind poor and non-transparent performance in this company.
Concerns Over Threats to Public Interests
🔸 It is said that this group, through the mediation of Yadollah Mosaddeghifar, the current CEO of Arvand Petrochemical and former CEO of Gachsaran Petrochemical, has facilitated this appointment so that the financial resources of five petrochemical companies are placed under the control of a political faction.
🔸 It has also been stated that four representatives from Bushehr province, including the representative from Assaluyeh, have been sidelined from the process of this appointment. Critics warn that, in addition to the interests of the people of Bushehr province, the interests of shareholders are also at risk, and the financial resources of these entities may be used for political and electoral purposes in the three provinces of Khuzestan, Bushehr, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad.
