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.
