On February 23, Dr. Alejo Vid\u00e1l Quadras, the former Vice President of the European Parliament, held a highly anticipated press conference in Madrid, addressing a throng of both Spanish and international journalists. This marked his first public appearance following a recent terrorist attack targeting him at a media club in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n

In his statement, Dr. Vid\u00e1l Quadras wasted no time in categorizing the assault against him as a blatant act of terrorism. He pointed fingers directly at the Iranian regime, alleging its involvement in orchestrating the attack and criticizing its engagement in terrorist activities beyond its borders.<\/p>\n

Characterizing Iran as a “religious dictatorship” and a “terrorist regime,” Dr. Vid\u00e1l Quadras accused Tehran of harboring terrorists and facilitating their escape from justice. He highlighted a series of past incidents, including the assassinations of two representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, namely Dr. Kazem Rajavi in Geneva<\/a> in 1990 and Mohammad-Hossein Naghdi<\/a> in Rome in 1993, as well as terrorist activities like targeting the Jewish AMIA centers<\/a> in Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/p>\n

The former European Parliament official called for decisive action from the European Union, urging the expulsion of the regime’s diplomats and the severing of diplomatic relations. He emphasized the imperative of denying visas to regime operatives seeking entry into Europe and advocated for the expulsion of all regime intelligence operatives.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vid\u00e1l Quadras further underscored the resilience of the Iranian Resistance, highlighting their annual gatherings that attract tens of thousands of Iranians and hundreds of foreign dignitaries. He also recounted a thwarted bombing attempt in Albania in 2018, intended to disrupt an annual Resistance conference.<\/p>\n
