The results of the legislative elections on Friday, February 21, were released to the public on Sunday. They confirm the very clear victory of the conservatives who obtain 200 seats, while the moderates obtain only 20, the other seats returning to the independents and requiring a second round. Clément Therme, post-doctoral researcher for the “nuclear knowledge” program at CERI Sciences-Po Paris and director of the collective work “Iran and its rivals and nation and revolution” published by Past compound, is our guest. These results confirm the forecasts, but what is the political significance of this weak mobilization?
