Paris, France \u2013 March 1, 2026 \u2014<\/strong> Supporters of the Iranian Resistance (NCRI<\/a> and PMOI<\/span><\/a>) gathered in Paris to endorse the official announcement of a Provisional Government by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a coalition of democratic Iranian opposition forces. The rally highlighted support for the NCRI\u2019s initiative as a viable democratic alternative for Iran following the death of Ali Khamenei<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Participants chanted slogans calling for the overthrow of the clerical establishment and expressing support for the\u00a0MEK\u2019s Resistance Units<\/a> inside Iran. They described the moment as a turning point in the country\u2019s political future. Organizers said the demonstration was held in solidarity with the NCRI\u2019s declaration and to highlight the determination of Iranians abroad to achieve fundamental political change in their homeland.<\/p>\n

In their slogans, demonstrators firmly rejected both the former monarchical<\/a> system and the current clerical regime, stressing that Iran\u2019s future depends on the establishment of a new era of democratic governance. They voiced strong support for the ten-point plan<\/a> proposed by Maryam Rajavi<\/span><\/span><\/a>, President-elect of the NCRI, describing it as a comprehensive framework for a transitional government.<\/p>\n

The NCRI\u2019s Provisional Government declaration, issued<\/a> on February 28, outlines a roadmap to transfer sovereignty to the Iranian people and guide the country toward a democratic republic founded on universal suffrage, individual freedoms, gender equality, and the rule of law. The plan also calls for abolishing absolute clerical rule and dismantling repressive institutions linked to the current regime.<\/p>\n
