From yesterday's Moussavi to today's Pazkhian from Shafian's tweet on the issue of participation in the elections Ahsan Hadidi (active member), member of the analytical department of Insaf News: The entire decline in people's participation in the elections cannot be attributed to Mirkhusein Mousavi and the events of 2008; Electoral restrictions, disqualifications, the performance of reformist-backed governments and failure to meet public expectations also played a role in this process. However, these factors should not prevent the investigation of Mousavi's political strategy and its consequences. The question is whether in 2008 it was possible to find a solution to deal with the protests and prevent the continuation of the political stagnation? If there were another election, what guarantee would there be to get the result? We cannot see compromise as a final solution, but we cannot assume that all intermediate ways are impossible without examining the possibilities of that time. Mirkhossein Mousavi, with his history as prime minister and years of presence in the political structure, must be evaluated from the perspective of responsibility and political decisions in the past. This issue does not mean ignoring people's right to protest or the government's responsibility in dealing with protesters; The responsibility of the government and the political leaders are two separate issues. The 2008 crisis had costs to society and the reform movement. Of course, the erosion of the social capital of the reformers is not only related to this crisis, and the structural limitations, disqualifications and performance of the governments supported by this trend also played a role in it. Hassan Rouhani's victory in 1392 cannot be considered a direct result of Mousavi's strategy. Today, when some reformers see negotiations and flexibility as a way to reduce state spending, we must apply the same criteria of cost and benefit to past decisions. Compromise is not always the solution, and standing alone is not a sign of success either. If we want people to prevent undesirable candidates from gaining power through participation in elections, we must also account for the contribution of political currents to the erosion of public trust and the reasons why people stay away from the polls.
