STORYLINE
Eight presidential candidates running in Iran's upcoming elections were taking radically different stands on personal freedoms, women's rights and censorship in the country's second round of televised debates, with moderates vowing to loosen restrictions and hard-liners backing strong state intervention in people's lives.
The four-hour debate, the second of three aired live on national television, is the public's look at all eight candidates approved by Iran's ruling clerics to enter the June 14 election to succeed outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Iranians meanwhile, appeared split on which electoral candidate won the televised debate on Wednesday.
"Mr. (Mohammad Bagher) Qalibaf and Mr. (Ali Akbar) Velayati (are my favourites). The diplomatic background of Mr. Velayati and the administrative experience of Qalibaf represents what Tehran citizens and citizens across the country want," said Mohammad Reza Koohi, Tehran resident.
Others were clearer on who they favoured.
"I think Mr. Qalibaf (is the best). His services can easily be seen across the city. The things he has done during his career as Tehran mayor are clearly visible," Hassan Davchei, another Tehran resident said.
In the first debate, Qalibaf emphasised his credentials in developing the capital, saying there must be security for investment to encourage private enterprise.
Qalibaf has tried to showcase his budget-handling credentials and quality-of-life projects.
The economic woes at the centre of the debate are a key issue in the election: Inflation has shot up to around 30 percent and unemployment to 14 percent.
