In a video he published about his meeting with Prince Reza Pahlavi, Charlie Wimmers, a member of the European Parliament, emphasized his support for him as an "alternative to the government of the Islamic Republic" and said: "We support your efforts to unite the people of Iran around a future in which they can choose their own government." This representative of Sweden in the European Parliament said: "When I invited you to come here in 2023, I wanted this parliament to hear the voice of an alternative to the government of the Islamic Republic. This belief has grown even stronger since then." Referring to the development of Iran's universities, industry and modern infrastructure during the Pahlavi dynasty, Wiemers said: "Prince Pahlavi's name has become an inseparable link with the hopes of many Iranians."
