lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Islamic Council of Guardians operates as an unelected organisation consisting of Islamic theologians whose task it is, in accordance with Islamic principles, to preserve the heritage of the revolution of 25 years ago. The issue is that of whether this Council of Guardians does not instead discredit religion in itself, the role of priests and theologians in society and what is, in this case, the entirely dominant religion, namely Shi’ite Islam. These are the consequences for the Islamic revolution in Iran of the activities of the Council of Guardians, of the legislation they have promoted and of other legislation they have prevented. We Europeans and members of the European Union must state that, if people have the right to vote, they should have the right to stand as candidates. It is completely unacceptable for theologians to be able to prohibit people from both voting and standing as candidates."@en1
