On the occasion of the International Women's Day, hundreds of political, social and cultural personalities from all over Europe and North America gathered in Auvers-sur-Oise on February 23 to speak about "Women, the Force for Change."  Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, elaborated on the experience of women in political leadership within the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI) and in Ashraf City in Iraq.

On January 6th, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the Iranian Resistance offered her wishes to the people of Auvers-sur-Oise and Val d'Oise province, who came in their hundreds to a gathering in response to her invitation. Mayors, city council officials, personalities, residents of Auvers and surroundings villages and across France gathered on Sunday evening to celebrate the advent of 2008.

“Today we are faced with a big imposture. The mullahs' regime and his lobbies try to prevent the adoption of a politics of firmness against them on the international level on behalf of opposition to the war. I said and repeated several times: we are against a foreign military intervention. Only the Iranian people and its resistance have the capacity and the competence to overthrow this religious regime and to realize a democratic change in Iran. However, the propaganda for peace and compromise with the mullahs' regime under any excuse, are only a call to surrender to the religious fascism”, said Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance. 

Expressing her appreciation to members of the European Parliament for their efforts to remove the terror tag against the People's Mojahedin of Iran, Mrs. Rajavi said, "I believe history will judge friends of the Iranian Resistance for the contribution they have made to the world by showing the correct path in dealing with the mullahs’ regime." She was speaking to a group of Euro MPs on December 18, in a meeting at the European Parliament in Brussels. The full text of her speech follows:

Speaking to a press conference at the European Parliament in Brussels on December 18, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi denounced the British government's role in designating the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in the EU's terrorist list. "The British government was also the driving force behind EU’s refusal to implement the December 2006 judgment of the Court of First Instance, which had annulled the PMOI's terror listing," Rajavi regretted. Full text of her speech to MEPs follows:

Addressing a meeting on Wednesday at the European Parliament on the invitation of the EP's Vice-President Mr. Alejo Vidal Quadras, Mrs. Rajavi said, "The PMOI, as the pivotal force of the Resistance, advocates a democratic and tolerant Islam. It is therefore the political and cultural antidote to the mullahs’ regime. For the same reason, the PMOI is also very popular among Iraqi people.  In June 2006, 5.2 million Iraqis signed a declaration in support of the PMOI." The full text of her speech follows :

Following the ruling of an appeals court in Britain to remove People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), Iran's main opposition movement from a government list of proscribed terrorist organizations, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance welcomed the verdict and called on the government to implement the court's decision immediately.

Mr Mogens Camre, MEP from Denmark, on Saturday, November 24, in a speech in demonstration by thousands of Iranians residing in sweden, condemned the recent insults to members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MeK) based in Ashraf city (home to the members of the PMOI in Iraq) by the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet.

On Monday, October 1, 2007, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance addressed the meeting of the group of European People's Party (Christian Democrats) at the Parliamentary Assembly of the 47-nation Council of Europe.

"Foreign military intervention is not the solution for the Iranian crisis. To view firmness towards the mullahs as warmongering, is nothing more than repeating the mullahs’ propaganda and political deception. To continue to negotiate with the mullahs, would only give them the opportunity to acquire the nuclear bomb," said Mrs. Rajavi. The following is the full text of her speech:

The following is the text of Mrs. Rajavi’s video message to a conference at the U.S. Congress on September 11. The meeting was attended by over 100 congressional experts and aids and was addressed by a number of distinguished opposition leaders in Iraq denouncing the clerical regime’s meddling in their country:

Allow me at the beginning to hail the Iranian people for rising up against an oppressive dictatorship. By resorting to hanging young people in public, the mullahs are trying to intimidate the Iranian nation. But the mass executions have failed to break the resistance of the people. The mullahs have reached the end of the line in Iran.
