Maryam Rajavi’s New Movements in France: Growing Controversy, Declining Support, and the Debate Over the NCRI’s Legitimacy
The Youth Factor: A Missing Connection?
One of the most important dynamics in Iranian society today is its young population. A significant portion of Iranians are under 35, and their political engagement is often shaped by:
- Economic challenges
- Social freedoms
- Digital connectivity
Yet, Rajavi’s movement appears to struggle in connecting with this demographic. Younger Iranians, particularly those active online, often gravitate toward:
- Decentralized activism
- Non-ideological protest movements
- Grassroots campaigns rather than exile-led organizations
This generational gap further complicates the NCRI’s claim to represent the Iranian people.
