Poland asks UN to brand Spain a breeding ground for fascism
Poland asks the United Nations Security Council to declare Spain a breeding ground for fascism and a threat to world peace. The Big Three split on postwar Spain policy as Poland, backed by the Soviet Union, pushes for punitive action and sanctions, while the United States, Britain, and others demand new evidence. Oscar Lange presents Poland’s case against Franco and possible links to Nazi science, amid a council roving presidency and Spain’s ongoing crisis since the UN opened with its first agenda item three months ago. In related moves, Egypt’s Afifi Pasha takes over as council president as Iran tensions persist.
