The Swiss Canton of Vaud approved today by a slender majority of two votes a resolution to take appropriate steps to prevent any repetition of a recent meeting near Lausanne of the neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic “New European Order.”
The meeting of the racist group was organized by G. A. Amadruz, a banking employee known for his extreme rightist and anti-Semitic activities. During the meeting, the delegates voted a motion of sympathy for Leon Degrelle, the Rexist war criminal who fled to refuge in Spain when Belgium was liberated from the Nazis.
The delegates also unanimously approved a resolution supporting the wartime activities of Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who was hanged in Jerusalem on May 31 for his war crimes against the Jews. The group publishes a bulletin in Belgium.
