We were supposed to be 100,000 today, but the mullahs struck a deal with the French government, which bowed its head, which bowed its spine, and which banned the demonstration. Fortunately, courageous administrative judges emerged, reasoning in terms of principles, rights, and delivering a lesson in democracy to the police prefect. The decision of the police prefect was overturned, and we were able to gather, but the police prefect is a sore loser. He appealed. And while we are here, in appeal, the court is convened to determine if we have the right to gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the answer, you have brought it. You are here, and 234 years after the French Revolution, as my colleague mentioned, we are the demonstration that here in Paris, the heart of people ready to fight for freedom, for their own and for others, resonates. And we must never forget that you cannot silence a people fighting for their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>234 years ago, the French dismantled the symbol of arbitrariness, the Bastille fortress. And 234 years later, the heirs of the ideas of the French Revolution, we, you, are here for a new cause today. That of the Iranian people fighting for their freedom. And it\u2019s a great honor for us to be with you today to share a few thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, the Iranian regime claims its position is unshakable. The only ones who believe it is the powerful of this world, who submit because they prefer sacrificing the rights of the Iranian people. You know, the high-ranking officials, many of them, are numbed. Do you know what numbs them? The smell of oil. And because of oil, they bow down before the ayatollahs and trample upon the Iranian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peoples always have memories. You will remember. The Iranian people will remember who stood with them during the dark hours of the mullahs\u2019 dictatorship. Together, we are building, we will build, a new world, one that grants rights to those who have none, to those who believe in culture, education, and the right to health for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we demonstrate our strength, and you demonstrate that in Iran, facing dictatorship, there is an alternative, represented by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>and its main force, the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/a-primer-on-the-history-of-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran<\/a>. This resistance is rooted in over 40 years of organized struggle, marked by tens of thousands of executions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The failure of transient alliances reinforces the idea that the necessary unity of common principles among democratic forces rejecting all forms of dictatorship is in progress. And you know, this cannot be stopped. Women, as mentioned earlier, play a leading role in the battle against the misogynistic regime of the mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the clerical regime will not hesitate to resort to more murders and crimes to stay in power. That\u2019s why our mobilization is urgent. Our gathering is essential to help the Iranian people overcome more swiftly. Faced with this reality, it\u2019s crucial to recognize justly that the NCRI, the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\">MEK<\/a>, have all the attributes to succeed the mullahs\u2019 regime and to open a new horizon in Iran. Popular support is needed. The MEK, the NCRI, have popular support in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And only those who sympathize with the mullahs dare to say that the NCRI is not representative. Who\u2019s fueling the uprising today? Who\u2019s protesting? Who\u2019s writing slogans on the walls? Who\u2019s burning effigies of the Supreme Ayatollah? It\u2019s the Iranian people, inspired by the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\">NCRI<\/a>, this National Council of Resistance of Iran, presenting itself as a formidable and reliable, credible alternative to the regime. The NCRI possesses a coherent structure and organization, recognized leadership, a clear and unambiguous platform, a national network within the country through which we were informed, for example, about the ayatollahs\u2019 preparation for nuclear mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, today is a step. Modestly, in Paris, we are gathered despite the ayatollahs and their allies who are here. You know, in our country, France, there have always been two Frances. One on the right side and one on the wrong side. During the Revolution, there were those who were with the king and those who were with the revolutionaries. During the Resistance, there were those who were with Hitler\u2019s friends and then there were those who were with the Resistance. And today, it\u2019s the same. There are those who are with the Iranian patriots and there are those who are with their assassins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We, we honor ourselves by being faithful to our history, standing by your side for the victory that will be shared. Because what is good for you is good for us too. So, all together, onward to the final struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jean-Pierre-Brard-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48999\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jean-Pierre-Brard-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Jean-Pierre-Brard-1-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran2023?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran2023<\/a> <br>1.

Nous devions \u00eatre 100 000 aujourd\u2019hui, mais les mollahs se sont entendus avec le gouvernement fran\u00e7ais, qui a courb\u00e9 la t\u00eate, qui a courb\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9chine, et qui a interdit la manifestation. Heureusement, il s\u2019est trouv\u00e9 des magistrats administratifs courageux, qui ont raisonn\u00e9 en termes de principes, de droits, et qui ont donn\u00e9 une le\u00e7on de d\u00e9mocratie au pr\u00e9fet de police. La d\u00e9cision du pr\u00e9fet de police a \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9e, et nous avons pu nous r\u00e9unir, mais le pr\u00e9fet de police est un mauvais perdant. Il a fait appel. Et pendant que nous sommes ici, en appel, le tribunal est r\u00e9uni pour savoir si nous avons le droit de nous r\u00e9unir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Et bien la r\u00e9ponse, vous l\u2019avez apport\u00e9e. Vous \u00eates ici, et 234 ans apr\u00e8s la R\u00e9volution fran\u00e7aise, comme mon coll\u00e8gue disait, nous sommes la d\u00e9monstration qu\u2019ici, \u00e0 Paris, vibre le c\u0153ur des gens qui sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 se battre pour la libert\u00e9, pour la leur, mais aussi pour celle des autres. Et il ne faut jamais oublier qu\u2019on ne peut pas b\u00e2illonner un peuple qui se bat pour ses droits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Il y a 234 ans, les Fran\u00e7ais ont abattu le symbole de l\u2019arbitraire, la forteresse de la Bastille. Et bien 234 ans apr\u00e8s, les h\u00e9ritiers des id\u00e9es de la R\u00e9volution fran\u00e7aise, nous, vous, nous sommes l\u00e0 pour aujourd\u2019hui une cause nouvelle. C\u2019est celle du peuple d\u2019Iran qui se bat pour sa libert\u00e9. Et c\u2019est un grand honneur pour nous d\u2019\u00eatre avec vous aujourd\u2019hui pour partager quelques r\u00e9flexions.<br>Tout d\u2019abord, le r\u00e9gime iranien pr\u00e9tend que sa position est in\u00e9branlable.<br>Les seuls qui le croient, ce sont les puissants de ce monde qui se couchent parce qu\u2019ils pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent sacrifier les droits du peuple iranien. Vous savez, les hauts dirigeants, pour nombre d\u2019entre eux, sont anesth\u00e9si\u00e9s. Vous savez par quoi ils sont anesth\u00e9si\u00e9s? Par les odeurs de p\u00e9trole. Et \u00e0 cause du p\u00e9trole, ils se mettent \u00e0 plat-ventre devant les ayatollahs et ils marchent sur le peuple d\u2019Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Les peuples ont toujours de la m\u00e9moire. Vous vous rappellerez. Le peuple d\u2019Iran se rappellera qui \u00e9tait avec lui aux heures sombres de la dictature des mollahs. Et ensemble, nous construisons, nous construirons un nouveau monde, celui qui donne des droits \u00e0 ceux qui n\u2019en ont pas, ceux qui croient \u00e0 la culture, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9ducation, aux droits \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 pour tous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alors nous d\u00e9montrons notre force et vous d\u00e9montrez qu\u2019en Iran, face \u00e0 la dictature, il y a une alternative, celle qui est repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par le CNRI et par sa force principale, l\u2019organisation des Moudjahidines du peuple d\u2019Iran. Cette r\u00e9sistance trouve ses racines dans plus de 40 ann\u00e9es de lutte organis\u00e9e, marqu\u00e9e par des dizaines et des dizaines de milliers d\u2019ex\u00e9cutions.<br>L\u2019\u00e9chec des alliances \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8res renforce l\u2019id\u00e9e que l\u2019unit\u00e9 n\u00e9cessaire des principes communs parmi les forces d\u00e9mocratiques qui rejettent toutes les formes de dictature sont en marche. Et vous savez, on ne pourra pas arr\u00eater cela. Les femmes, comme il a \u00e9t\u00e9 dit tout \u00e0 l\u2019heure, dans cette magnifique bataille, jouent un r\u00f4le de premier plan dans la lutte contre le r\u00e9gime misogyne des Mollahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malheureusement, le r\u00e9gime cl\u00e9rical n\u2019h\u00e9sitera pas \u00e0 recourir \u00e0 davantage de meurtres et de crimes pour rester au pouvoir. C\u2019est pourquoi notre mobilisation est urgente. Notre rassemblement est indispensable pour aider le peuple d\u2019Iran \u00e0 vaincre plus rapidement. Face \u00e0 cette r\u00e9alit\u00e9, il est essentiel de reconna\u00eetre justement que le CNRI, l\u2019OMPI ont tous les attributs de la rel\u00e8ve pour faire suite au r\u00e9gime des mollahs et pour qu\u2019un horizon nouveau s\u2019ouvre en Iran. Il faut le soutien populaire. L\u2019OMPI, le CNRI a le soutien populaire en Iran.<br>Et il n\u2019y a que ceux qui sympathisent avec les mollahs, qui osent dire que le CNRI n\u2019est pas repr\u00e9sentatif. Qui anime le soul\u00e8vement aujourd\u2019hui? Qui manifeste? Qui va faire des inscriptions sur les murs? Qui br\u00fble les effigies du grand Ayatollah? C\u2019est le peuple d\u2019Iran, inspir\u00e9 par le CNRI, ce Conseil National de la R\u00e9sistance qui se pr\u00e9sente comme une alternative formidable et fiable, cr\u00e9dible au r\u00e9gime. Le CNRI poss\u00e8de une structure et une organisation coh\u00e9rentes, un leadership reconnu, une plateforme claire et sans \u00e9quivoque, un r\u00e9seau national \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur du pays gr\u00e2ce auquel nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 inform\u00e9s par exemple de la pr\u00e9paration par les Ayatollahs de la ma\u00eetrise du nucl\u00e9aire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alors, aujourd\u2019hui c\u2019est une \u00e9tape. Modestement, \u00e0 Paris, nous sommes r\u00e9unis malgr\u00e9 les Ayatollahs et leurs alli\u00e9s qui sont ici. Vous savez, dans notre pays, en France, il y a toujours eu deux Frances. Celle qui est du bon c\u00f4t\u00e9 et celle qui est du mauvais. Pendant la R\u00e9volution, il y avait ceux qui \u00e9taient avec le roi et ceux qui \u00e9taient avec les r\u00e9volutionnaires.<br>Pendant la R\u00e9sistance, il y a ceux qui \u00e9taient avec les amis de Hitler et puis il y a ceux qui \u00e9taient avec la R\u00e9sistance. Et aujourd\u2019hui, c\u2019est la m\u00eame chose. Il y a ceux qui sont avec les patriotes iraniens et il y a ceux qui sont avec leurs assassins.<br>Nous, nous nous honorons de la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 \u00e0 notre histoire d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e0 votre c\u00f4t\u00e9 pour la victoire qui sera commune. Parce que ce qui est bon pour vous, c\u2019est bon pour nous aussi. Alors tous r\u00e9unis en avant pour la lutte finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former French MP and Mayor Jean-Pierre Brard:<br>The NCRI have all the capacity and characteristics to overthrow the regime and ensure democracy after regime change.
