Establishment In January 2015, it was confirmed by the Ministry of Interior that it had received a request for a permit to establish a new political party. The reformists had carried out some six similar initiatives for party formation in the past six months. It was officially given permission on April 20, 2015. The party’s declaration mentions that "a group of the nation’s children have gathered with the intention to take a new step toward the ideals of the revolution and the demands of the reform movement based on the constitution and the nation’s rights mentioned in its third chapter."
