Reports received today from Spain indicate that CEDADE, the neofascist movement in Europe will not be allowed to hold its scheduled Youth Congress in Barcelona on June 29 and 30. According to a news item which appeared in “Informaciones.” the Spanish daily, dated May 16, the ultra-fascist character of the movement was responsible for the civil government of Barcelona’s cancellation of the permit to meet.
Information and documents about CEDADE’s Nazi affiliation and anti-Semitic activities were furnished to leaders of the Spanish-Jewish community by the European Affairs Department of the Anti-Defamation League and released here.
CEDADE’s attempt to refute Spanish press charges concerning their fascist orientation was exploded by an expose appearing in the popular Spanish daily, “Pueblo,” dated May 18. The writer of the expose, Pedro Rodriguez, cited a document, supplied by ADL, in which James K. Warner, the leader of the California-based Christian Crusade Church in the U.S. described CEDADE as “the most important anti-Jewish organization in Spain.”
According to Warner’s sources, the Barcelona meeting would be “the largest right-wing gathering since the Second World War” and that it would “bring together patriots of Europe and South America to unite on a global plan to fight against the Jewish anti-Christians, for Christ, for race and nation.”
