Maryam Rajavi Meets with Emile Blessig, President of the Group of Former Members of the French National Assembly

On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, Maryam Rajavi met with Mr. Emile Blessig, President of the Group of Former Members of the National Assembly of France. The meeting followed a declaration of support by 200 members of the National Assembly.
Maryam Rajavi praised the long-standing support of Mr. Emile Blessig and other French lawmakers for the Iranian Resistance. She also explained the conditions within the clerical regime following the death of Ebrahim Raisi, the mullahs’ president, which dealt a strategic blow to the regime and shook it to the core. She stated, “Khamenei had set up an apparatus that relied on the presidency of Raisi, the henchman of the 1988 massacre. This system crumbled with his death, exacerbating the regime’s crises.”
She added, “To break out of this crisis, Khamenei has resorted to further repression, warmongering, and contraction of the regime. The Guardians Council rejected many presidential candidates, while infighting among Khamenei’s closest confidants and the remaining candidates intensified. Both actions are indicative of the regime’s current crisis.”
Mr. Emile Blessig expressed his gratitude for the opportunity of this meeting. He noted the declaration of support by 200 French MPs for the Iranian Resistance, stating, Your Resistance, with its brilliant history and progressive platform, truly deserves the support of every freedom-loving human being.
Mr. Blessig added: The PMOI and the NCRI are the main rivals of the clerical regime. For this reason, the regime has launched a campaign of intense demonization, leveraged the press, and recruited some reporters, including in France, to undermine you with exorbitant expenditures. However, experience has proven that your Resistance will neutralize these conspiracies and come out proud due to the broad base of support among people and your political independence.
