She described the demonstration as a powerful expression of the nation\u2019s rejection of both the clerical regime and any restored monarchy, insisting that Iranians seek only peace, freedom, and a democratic republic. Mrs. Rajavi presented the NCRI\u2019s Ten-Point Plan as the foundation for this transitional government, offering a clear alternative to dictatorship in all forms amid Iran\u2019s ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today in Brussels, thousands of Iranians are calling on EU states to recognize the provisional government based on Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BrusselsFreeIranRally?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BrusselsFreeIranRally<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MaryamRajavi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MaryamRajavi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran10PointPlan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran10PointPlan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6WGmseRd8Q\">pic.twitter.com\/6WGmseRd8Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Javad Dabiran (@JavadDabiran) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JavadDabiran\/status\/2034598962938679604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mrs. Rajavi condemned four decades of Western appeasement, which she said has enabled the regime\u2019s nuclear ambitions, brutal repression, and regional aggression.
