Bernard Kushner: France’s former Minister of Foreign and European Affairs

“The people of Iran have been suppressed for 38 years. Suppressed by your heocratic regime, Islamic extremism and fundamentalism….

The regime of the Ayatollah is the base of extremism. So people of Iran are very right and deserve to get at least a better regime.

They deserve to have freedom and democracy. They deserve to have free elections through which they can elect their true representatives, and not those who have been elected by the supreme leader.”
