Paulo Casaca, former MEP from Portugal, addressed at the 2nd Day of The Free Iran World Summit on July 11, 2021.

Conscious that the theatrics of moderates versus conservatives is no longer able to fool people within or outside its borders. The clergy decided to bet on the one who over 40 years has shown to be its bloodiest and unscrupulous mass murderer. The message is clear.

Gone are the days of suppose reform. The regime intends to openly continue the blunder and mismanagement of the country to fuel the terrorist and expansionist apparatus, and to repress, imprison, and assassinate in order to keep the privileges of the ruling class.

The mullahs are, however, underestimating Iranian society rage against the rule. Immediately after the sham elections, workers of the Petrol industry have multiplied strikes. The population demonstrates against the lack of electricity supply.

Lawyers defied the regime rules to silence that capacity to defend citizens. The Iranian population massively ignored the sham presidential election and discussion that the regime is completely unable to reform itself, and that popular aspirations can only be achieved by a free secular and democratic regime, not guided by the mullahs fanatic plan to subvert the world, but by the will to improve its living conditions.

The Democratic world should recognize the Iranian people right to full self-determination and to choose freely and democratically its government.

This is the only way to satisfy the aspirations of the people to free the nations of the region from the terrorist as expression in which are the Islamic Revolutionary Guards(IRGC) and for the free world to gain a committed and reliable partner.

Our duty is to stop appeasing the fanatic terrorist expansionist Iranian clergy and to stand with the Iranian people.
