toward the Iranian regime, the Spanish news agency EFE reported on Friday.<br \/>&nbsp; <br \/>Elections are &ldquo;totally illegitimate&rdquo; and &quot;boycotted by the Iranian people&rdquo;, President of the NCRI told EFE in an interview form the Council&rsquo;s headquarter is suburb of Paris.   <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The NCRI says that in a large number of the 25,000, out of a the total of about 45,000 polling stations in Iran, which were monitored by the network of Iranian resistance, there were more police officers or other agents than voters,&rdquo; EFE reprted.<\/p>\n<p>The international community &ldquo;must recognize that the elections are illegitimate,&rdquo; EFE quoted Mrs. Rajavi.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Rajavi stated that after this election, the regime will be more fragile and extremist, and the parliament will push for &ldquo;producing the nuclear bomb,&rdquo; &ldquo;domination in Iraq and Lebanon&rdquo; and &ldquo;more suppression in Iran.&rdquo;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The only hope against the threat of religious fascism is a democratic change in Iran by the Resistance, Mrs. Rajavi said in the interview. <\/p>\n<p>Rajavi called on the western powers to recognize the &ldquo;legitimacy&rdquo;
