Argentina’s right-wing nationalist movement, the Alianza Libertadora Nacionalista, has renounced its former anti-Semitic policy, Guillermo P. Kelly, its secretary general, said in a statement to the press here.
In eliminating anti-Semitism from its program, he said, the Alianza was following President Peron “who does not allow any discrimination based on race or religion in our country.” He added that the Alianza now has “full sympathy and admiration for the young State of Israel where the Jewish people is giving the whole world a lesson in patriotism and sound nationalism.”
