To my great astonishment, the presidential election in Iran is some interest among the youth of Tehran. Since the opening of the campaign, hundreds of people gather every night instead of " Tajrish "and along the" Vali-Ars Street north of the city. Most chant the name of Mir Hossein Mousavi, the moderate candidate backed by former reformist president Khatami.
I had originally thought that the election in which the protagonists did not shine by their diversity, would reinforce the feeling of indifference or even rejection of the local political ... was not counting the huge unpopularity of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the youth Téhérannaise.
The return to "moral values of Islamic revolution" advocated by his government for 4 years there is clearly something: the multiple controls of any kind (including dress), or monitoring of universities have left a bitter taste to the most youth.
We'll see what comes out of the June 12 presidential, but even if the result is not what it wants, it reassures already on the willingness of the new generation to make things happen .
Good luck!
