NCRI – Leo Dautzenberg, member of the Chairing Council of the Christian Democrat faction in the German Fedral Parliament(Bundestag).
I would like to send my greetings to Madam President Maryam Rajavi and participants at the gathering in Paris. I wish Mrs. Rajavi, the focus of this event, and other participants the best of luck.
200 of my male and female colleagues at the Bundestag support the Paris gathering, which is the largest gathering calling for a free and democratic Iran.
These efforts and specifically the uprisings that has been ongoing since last June in Iran and we witnessed them; youths who protested in Iran against fundamentalism, they were pursuing peace, freedom and humane conditions. We still support them and their protest movement. My best wishes for these people and before all else the women and men in Ashraf City in Iraq, in circumstances when American forces are leaving Iraq and there are more threats and fears. It is a duty for the United Nations to guarantee the necessary protection for them. The lives of these people must not be threatened. It is a very important responsibility and we support the UN assuming that responsibility.
We must support the people’s protests inside Iran with all our power because they seek an Iran which befriends the world community.
