Iranians protesting against Hassan Rouhani leave Denfert-Rochereau Square for a march in streets of Paris.

Former MEP, Struan Stevenson expressed his concern that the people of Europe have been fooled into thinking that Rouhani is a moderate president. It is a regime that disrespects women, exports terrorism and he said it is “disgraceful” that he has been invited and welcomed into Paris. Stevenson, when asked if he has a message to people in the Middle East, said: “Do not think that everyone in Europe welcomes Rouhani.” He said that the thousands of people out protesting were proof of this.
Jacques Boutault, mayor of the 2nd district of Paris, said he is “ashamed for his country”. He is ashamed that purely for business reasons his country is playing host to a world leader that has no respect for the people of his country.
Jean- François Legaret, mayor of the 1st district of Paris, said that he is there to support the Iranian Resistance led by Mrs. Rajavi. “Long live liberty”, he said.
