Amir (pseudonym) is 29 and drinks 'chayi' long sip. His girlfriend is Spanish. He met in Iran, during a trip of it. Says without anger and what for us would be an unfortunate injustice: "Spain will not grant me a visa and Iran can not have a girlfriend, so both we take the plane and stayed in Turkey." The young, dark complexion, medium beard, slender figure, speaks English and Spanish with remarkable ease.
"It's not a comfortable situation. I would go to live in Spain with her but it seems that things are not so good either," he resigned. Amir knows that getting a job in our country, despite having higher education, is very difficult. In Iran it is easier. The labor market is largely confined to men.
Women can also work, but in a lower number of jobs: customer service, secretarial, sales or hostess. The minaret call to prayer in the afternoon, but Hussein (pseudonym) prefers to talk about philosophy. Study at the University of Tehran, the heart of the protests of those days. "I'm not a practicing Muslim," he said.
"Study philosophy, and this shows that there is more than sufficient evidence to doubt the veracity of any religion." Unlike Amir, still stirring the tea quietly, Hussein has the look shy, elusive. The previous day's protests were in Isfahan, the second largest city. "We were many. Young people are tired of this way of governing.
Be against does not mean to be pro-American. I do not like Obama, I do not want Iran to be a slave to the Americans. "About the possibility to escape the country and make a new life in Europe, young people are sharp. Do not want to leave Iran for the world. Love this loves his country and people.
He just wants, he insists, the best for them. Night falls and people are still crowding the bazaar. In one of the dead, Ibrahim (pseudonym) to speculate on the future: "World War III will be fought between Iran and the United States. "We have a lot of oil, they are not. They want to destroy Iran, and that makes all of us against them.
I do not like Obama. I do not like my government. Things have to change, as Egypt. " Sadegh (real name) thinks the same. He has spent a week in Tehran, but wary when talking about what he did during the stay. Is nearing completion of Urban Engineering and his dream is going to live in Barcelona.
"We're not worse than in other countries in the region. We have good salaries and work. But they are abusing the opposition. I want to take the post [...] Yes, the Iranian democracy is perverted." Among young people, their hospitality is as big as the Western distrust when talking about their desire for change for the country.
Speak well the language of 'Satan of the West'. The first question that comes out of his mouth is, "What do you think of America?". And there is fear. A lot. Also a determination. Hussein says bluntly: "There will be rebellion, I'm sure. But rebellions carry victims." Hesitant, standing with the backpack and Laconica voice, sentence: "Is what we have."
