Prof. Rita S\u00fcssmuth, former President of the German Bundestag (1988-1998), delivered an impassioned speech at the Free Iran World Summit<\/a> on July 1, 2023. Emphasizing the strength and resilience of the Iranian resistance, Prof. S\u00fcssmuth praised the unity and support among parliamentarians, politicians, and people from around the world, especially in Europe, who have come together to stand with the Iranian Resistance and make it stronger than ever before. Addressing the demonization campaigns against the Iranian Resistance and its supporters, S\u00fcssmuth expressed her trust in Madame Rajavi and commended her efforts for her people and the cause of democracy worldwide.<\/p>\n The full-text speech of Prof. Rita S\u00fcssmuth follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n As it has always been said, we are not weak. We try to be strong, but it’s not easy to get stronger when there are so many barriers. But let’s say we get stronger and stronger.<\/p>\n So, for myself, we just heard in the afternoon 42 years of Resistance. And distinguished guests, I have to say I was only 12 years, but believe me, I did not give up, and we did not give up. Why? Because a certain conviction, a certain hope, a certain belief gets us strong. And so, with this group, and we have a good group, being themselves or ourselves in resistance, when the government believes there are so many problems with the Iranians.<\/p>\n And we say, yes, we know, for a long time, but we have already overcome a lot. And I have to say, we go on. Today we are not weak. Why do I say it? Because after all our experience, I can assure you, now we have a big group. Never before had we had such a big group of parliamentarians, politicians, of people from all over the world, especially in Europe, that helped us to get stronger.<\/p>\n And, myself, I was really influenced by good personalities, and one of the outstanding personalities was Madame Rajavi<\/a> because she also encouraged us to say, we continue. And even with the misery points in our evolution, we can say, nobody is able to do it alone.<\/p>\n If you have two or three strong personalities, that’s not enough. You have to find more, to invite them, as it was done today by several speakers, and I can continue and say, today all the bad news about the Iranian |Resistance is an expression of fear.<\/p>\n Prof. Rita S\u00fcssmuth, President of the Bundestag (1988-1998) — Iran Freedom (@4FreedominIran) July 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
