Viewing cable 08MADRID320, SPAIN: IRAN ELECTIONS DEMARCHE DELIVERED

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: SPAIN: IRAN ELECTIONS DEMARCHE DELIVERED 
 
REF: STATE 25587 
 
ΒΆ1. (U)  Embassy made a strong case for the EU Presidency and 
Spain to issue statements regarding the Iran elections per 
reftel demarche.   Alberto Ucelay, Deputy Director for Middle 
East Affairs at the Spanish MFA, said that they would 
consider our points, particularly with regard to the need for 
transparency.  Spain will work within the EU context on this 
issue.  Ucelay said that Spain shares our concerns about the 
fundamental flaws in Iran's electoral process.  He 
anticipates there will be an EU statement that conveys a 
similar message, but he could not say when it would be 
issued.
