Speaking for the EU Presidency, Sweden's Carl Bildt reiterated on Tuesday that the government of Iran was dealing with questions about its legitimacy in the eyes of voters following last month’s controversial presidential elections.
"They, the leaders of Iran, must be concerned with the legitimacy of their regime in the eyes of their own electorate," said Bildt, whose country currently holds the rotating European Union presidency."As to which conclusions that leads to, that remains to be seen," he told members of the European parliament's foreign affairs committee in Brussels.When asked later whether he supported a call by Iranian reformists for a referendum, Bildt declined to answer, saying only that the Iranian authorities "will have to deal with these issues".
