Dozens of France\u2019s elected officials and personalities joined the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakers and participants included, Gilbert Mitterrand, President of the Mitterrand Foundation and former Member of the French National Assembly, Mich\u00e8le Alliot-Marie, former French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Interior, and Defense; Rama Yade, former French Deputy Human Rights Minister, Alain Vivienne, former French Deputy Foreign Minister, Bishop Jacques Gaillot, Yves Bonnet, former governor and head of the French Security Services, Jean-Pierre B\u00e9quet, former Mayor of Auvers-sur-Oise; Jean Fran\u00e7ois Legaret, former mayor of Paris 1st district, and member of the Ile de France Regional Council; former members of the French National Assembly: Senator Alain N\u00e9ri, Judge Francois Colcombet, Emile Blessig, Jean Philippe Maurer; Anne Ferreira, Former MEP; Dominique Attias, President of the European Bars Federation, Former Vice-President of the Paris Bar Association; former and current Mayors and electees in France: Sylvie Fassier, Armand Jacquemin, Jacky Duminy, Jean-Pierre Muller, Jean Claude Jegoudez, Guy Schmitt, Brigitte Allan, Jean-Louis Delannoy, Claude Krieguer, Bruno Mac\u00e9, Gilbert Marsac, Jacques Feyte, Emmanuel Couesnon, and Jean-Louis Testud.

Nevertheless, she noted, Iran\u2019s people have displayed their fury and outrage time and again in prison riots and during protests by workers, teachers, retirees, students, farmers, and Bazaar merchants. The state-run media describe Iranian society as a powder keg that could explode at any moment. The people of Iran also want to boycott the upcoming so-called presidential election because they want a free and democratically elected republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Online conference featuring the French elected representatives and political dignitaries\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LaNf1ceBswk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She referred to the widespread wave of young people joining the Resistance movement, the expansion of\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>, and progress in their activities nationwide despite large-scale arrests, adding that the regime\u2019s policy of demonizing the Resistance inside Iran had run aground. The regime\u2019s Minister of Intelligence, who uses the Gestapo\u2019s methods, recently confessed that the television programs broadcast against the Mujahedin-e Khalq (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) had been funded and produced by the Intelligence Ministry, Mrs. Rajavi recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>President-elect pointed to the ruling by a Court of Antwerp in Belgium confirming that the regime\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence had planned and carried out the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/guilty-verdict-for-iran-regimes-terrorist-isnt-enough-to-eliminate-threats-to-europe\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plot to bomb<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/paris-free-iran-with-hundreds-of-top-personalities-lawmakers-and-elected-representatives-from-five-continents\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI gathering<\/a>\u00a0in France in June 2018, in full collaboration with the regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry. Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that the regime\u2019s survival hinges on suppression at home on the one hand, and the export of terrorism and meddling in the Middle East countries, on the other. She underlined that two months after the new U.S. President took office, the regime continued to violate the Iran nuclear deal further, proving that it has never given up its\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-source-reports\/iran-s-nuclear-weapons-program\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nuclear weapons<\/a>\u00a0ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding Europe\u2019s correct policy vis-\u00e0-vis the ruling religious dictatorship, Mrs. Rajavi underscored that Europe could play a significant role in countering the regime\u2019s destructive policy in the region, preventing its access to nuclear weapons and curbing its missile program. Iranian society is simmering with discontent, she stressed, warning that offering concessions to Iran\u2019s ruling mullahs under whatever pretext would encourage them to step up repression at home and export terrorism abroad. Under such circumstances, the people of Iran expect Europe to adopt a firm policy vis-\u00e0-vis the Iranian regime, to support their desire for human rights and democracy, to shut down its embassies in Europe, which act as facilitators for terrorist actions, and to expel its agents from European territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>)<br>March 27, 2021<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online conference featuring France\u2019s elected representatives as well as social and political dignitaries \u2013 Auvers-Sur-Oise Maryam Rajavi: The people of Iran expect Europe to adopt a firm policy vis-\u00e0-vis the Iranian regime and in defense of human rights Mrs. Rajavi: Iranian society is like a powder keg waiting to explode at any momentIranians will boycott [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":21639,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,700],"tags":[42,28,461],"class_list":["post-21638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-maryam-rajavi","tag-france","tag-maryam-rajavi","tag-nowruz-celebration"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marking the Persian New Year and Nowruz in Solidarity with the Iranian People - Iran Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On Saturday, March 27, 2021, an online conference was held to mark the Iranian New Year in solidarity with the people of Iran.
