Members of the International Brigade in the British cookhouse at Albacete raise their fists in the Communist salute
RELATIVES and supporters of those who fought in the International Brigades have said that the European Union’s decision to equate nazism with communism is an “unforgivable insult.”
At the International Brigade Memorial Trust (IBMT)’s annual general meeting in London on Saturday, members voted to condemn the European Parliament’s vote in September that unambiguously condemned “totalitarian ideologies.”
The EU vote has been widely seen as an attempt to appease far-right governments in central and eastern European countries.
