Tehran, YJC. Pourebrahimi has said that the Majlis approves of the proposed cabinet members in general, but for a few occasions where it is feared some oppositional record may be involved.

Mohammadreza Pourebrahimi, the Vice Chancellor of the Economic Committee of the Majlis said in an interview with Mehr "With regard to the Supreme Leader’s recommendations to work in cooperation with the government, the Majlis agrees with the cabinet in general, but there is some sensitivity for example as to take care that there is, God forbid, no record indicating divergence from the system.”

Pourebrahimi criticized the limit of time given to the Majlis for considering cabinet members and said "The general atmosphere of the Majlis is a favorable one for votes of confidence to the ministers. Of course one cannot say how many will or will not get votes. It depends on the way ministers defend themselves as well as the pro and con statements, sometimes someone mentions an intricate point. The parliament floor is the decisive factor. Right now one cannot predict what will happen.”
