\"Former — Former EU Parliament VP Alejo Vidal-Quadras addresses the Brussels Free Iran Rally\u2013September 6, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On September 6, 2025, former European Parliament Vice President Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras<\/a> spoke before tens of thousands of Iranians at the Free Iran rally in Brussels<\/a>, declaring them the true reflection of Iran\u2019s democratic future. He emphasized that they represent \u201cthe living embodiment of the Iranian people\u2019s will for change,\u201d countering narratives that dismiss the movement as marginal. Instead, he described it as \u201cthe voice of millions\u2014the heartbeat of a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rejecting any return to monarchy, Vidal-Quadras stressed that the overwhelming majority of Iranians oppose substituting the current oppressive regime with another form of dictatorship. He praised the courage of Resistance Units inside Iran, noting their fearless defiance and determination, particularly on the 60th anniversary of the PMOI<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Recalling his survival of an assassination attempt, Vidal-Quadras reaffirmed his lifelong commitment: \u201cI will remain a proud soldier in your ranks until Iran is free.\u201d He portrayed the rally as both a rejection of tyranny and a renewal of determination, warning the regime that repression cannot silence resistance: \u201cThey can kill us, torture us, imprison us\u2014but we will never give up.\u201d He concluded with a call for persistent international pressure and solidarity until democratic change is achieved.<\/p>\n
*The full text of Prof. Alejo Vidal Quadras\u2019 speech follows:<\/em><\/p>\n*
Good afternoon to you all. My warm greetings to the heroes of freedom in Ashraf 3 and to the tens of thousands of courageous Iranians gathered here today. Madam President, distinguished friends, you have spoken today once again with power and clarity.<\/p>\n
I will add just one truth, but it is a truth that echoes across the world and across history. The future of Iran is not a dream. It is standing before us right now. You, you, the brave, the committed, are the living embodiment of the Iranian people\u2019s will for change. You are not a fringe, you are not a faction, you are not a grouplet. You are the voice of millions of Iranians. You are the heartbeat of a nation.<\/p>\n
