You cannot find anything better than that. There was no supervision like today. There was no Guardian Council that would oversee like today. There were no supervisory offices. Everyone registered. Even<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a> registered.

Do not exert pressure, thinking that if we make the filter tighter and if we squeeze the funnel harder, we would get better results. Leave the people alone.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet, Abbas-Ali Kadkhoda\u2019i, the Spokesman for the Guardian Council, wrote, \u201cRemarks by Rouhani, whose oath of office was to uphold the Constitution, disregard the Constitution and the laws governing the elections,\u201d adding that the President \u201cmust invite everyone to implement the letter of the law and refrain from creating political anticipation and urging entities to violate the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rouhani made those remarks while the so-called reformist faction\u2019s theoreticians are expressing frustration over the public\u2019s disdain toward that faction and the outcome of the parliamentary election. Saeed Hajjarian, who is close to the former President Mohammad Khatami\u2019s faction, was quoted by the state-run daily Sobh-e No on October 9<sup>th<\/sup> as saying, \u201cThose belonging to the middle ground have been weakened and morphed into two extremes. One side, which has given up, says the Islamic Republic should no longer exist. And the other side insists on preserving the status quo despite all its deficiencies. The extremists will essentially not vote. The middle ground is extremely weakened. So, the competition will be between those safeguarding the status quo and the extremist factions [rejecting the system].\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secretariat of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/our-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>October 11, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Majlis election was the best one in which the MEK participated As the religious dictatorship&rsquo;s parliamentary election masquerade draws closer, the mullahs&rsquo;
