Mohammad Khatami: We are very far from free and competitive elections.
Mohammad Khatami says he is not at odds with any individual, group, or institution, especially not with the people; rather, he sees himself alongside and with the people.
Unfortunately, we are witnessing widespread dissatisfaction and even a sense of disillusionment in society.
By the discontented segment of society, I mean not only the elites and especially the youth but also the majority over fifty percent who did not participate in the last two elections, as well as the several million who submitted invalid ballots.
Free and competitive participatory elections mean that the diverse spectrum known as the Iranian nation, not just conservatives and reformists, should have their desired candidates.
