The Speech of Mashallah Shamsolvaezin
The presence of Mashallah Shamsolvaezin added a significant intellectual dimension to the event. Known for his long career in journalism and public discourse, his speech resonated strongly with the audience.
He addressed the crowd not simply as spectators, but as participants in a broader societal process. By describing individuals as “actors,” he emphasized the idea that every person plays a role in shaping the nation’s future.
His message focused on endurance, collective responsibility, and the importance of cultural expression in times of uncertainty. Rather than framing the situation purely in political or military terms, he highlighted the role of art and culture as tools for maintaining social cohesion.
One of his most notable suggestions was the proposal to establish a “National Day of Resistance and Victory.” This idea reflects a broader effort to institutionalize memory and create a recurring moment of reflection within the national calendar.
