THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL MOVEMENT (ESY)
J ODUCTIO
The European Socia Movemeut_(ESM.i, also known as the Malmo Movement,
is an international organization composed of varioueEuropean_rightist
national ~ags~ct movements whose avowed purpose ?s to4enc European
Culture and to establish a European "nation", a federal state- in which. ail
member nations have equal rights.
Themovement.isneo-fascist in orientation and its leadership, most of
whom are former nazi-fasvte, apparently hopes to appeal oncemoe_to youth
for the establishment of a "new order"- in _Europe,this time under the guise
of 'All European Unity".
poring the few. short years of its existence the movement has made
progress, but only slowly.
_From.,thQ_very beginning it has been handicapped by lack of a strong
central. organization, dissension within its national affiliates, as well as
dissension on the political ideology to be pursued, some of its members favoring
a moderate or "reformist" policy while others, advocate racism and-dictatorship.
To date the movement has had little or no impact on the European political
scene. Whether it can solve its organizational and ideological problems and
emerge as a strong political force remains to be seen.
The secretariat. of the movement is believed to be presently located in
Tjrieste and is under the over-all direction of Dr. Per ENGDAHL ofSweden,
Secretary General of the movement.

History of the Euroneen SoeUj -, Movement
The European Social Movement appears to have had its inception
at a meeting described as the First European National Youth Congress
held in Rome 21-24 October 1950under the sponsorship of the Fronte
Universitario di Azione Nazionale (FUAN), a student and youth organization
~'wv3' r2ldr4
of the Movimento Socials Italiano (MSI)
Attending the meeting were representatives from Fiance, Italy,
Germany, Spain, and Sweden, most of whom were: tubers of extreme rightist
groups in their respective countries and'all of whom professed to be
anti-Conmiunist.
The stated purpose of the Congress was to attain a unification of
the younger generation of Europe on an ideological and organizational
basis.

The final political program adopted by the Congress was based
on the proposals of the Swedish delegation, led by Per ENGDAHL, and
consisted of the following ten points:
1. Human culture is the goal of historical development. The thrious
roles played by the economic, social, political, military,
spiritual, geographic, biological, and psychological forces
are determined by those in control at a given time. We appear
on behalf of the potentialities and responsiblities of mankind.
The defense of western culture against the danger of Communism
is the present task which lies before the nations of Europe.
2. The formation of a European Nation is the most important
duty of our time. Within the framework of this Nation each
country is to be assured of equality of rights and their
national independence.
3. The r territory of the Nation is to be an open market,
with_a common customs and monetary system. Wages and food
prices are to be levelled by organizing credits of the Nation
to be put at the disposal of such parts of the territory that
are in need of technical rationalization.
4. The military forces will be under the command of the Nation.
The contribution which each country makes to the common defense
will be determined by its proportionate share in the total
population. The principle of equality of rights for each
country is to be carried out in the military sphere as well as
in the economic and social spheres.
5. We proclaim the cooperation between the European Nation and
other nations which are on the fringes of Western culture. The
colonial peoples are to be eligible to join the Nation as states
having equal rights, when they have attained an economic and
Sanitized - App tueralF~e Ref le ee6iisihed Pla8 00 1e p posesi1~qFie0 equality
 Sanitized - A proved For Release : CIA-RDP74-PO915R000400120005-9
of rights between white and colored peoples in working for
the cultural and national freedom of all members of the Nation.
6. The equality of individuals before the law is to be guaranteed.
No one is to be punished without legal proceedings. The right
to freedom of opinion, speech, holding meetings and forming
organizations are to be considered inviolable and limited only
by the necessity of protection of society and the individual
against criminal acts. The head of the government is to be
elected by a vote of the people. The representatives of the
people are to be elected by corporate electoral districts.
Elections must be by free and secret ballots., The government
does not have the right to suppress the propaganda of the
opposition for the benefit of its own interests.
7. The social and economic activity is to be regulated by the
organizations of the corporate society. The equal rights of
capital and labor is to be realized all along the line, and
the employers will be freed from their unilateral dependence
on capital. The rights of workers and officials in management,
in corporations, and in all phases of economic life are to be
protected by legislation. Production is to be protected against
dependence upon the government's administration.
8. Science is to be free and unhampered by preconceived ideas. ft
The purpose of education is to be free and strong men. Cooperat-
ion between home, school, and the youth movement, is to bridge
the social contrasts. The opportunities for education are not
to be dependent upon the income of the parents, but are to be
determined by the capabilities of the students.

9. We hope for cooperation with, all social, economic, and cultural
forces of the Occident, and we strive for reconciliation between
the idealists of both sides in the last World War in order to
be able to carry out the defense against Communism and work
for European unification and occidental culture.
10. We consider the rebirth of Christianity as the inevitable
foundation for an occidental revival. Without the revival
of faith there is ? no secure basis for culture and cooperation
among men. The material standard is dependent upon the moral
standard. Social and economic progress is not possible without
moral progress. The $uropean revival must at the same time be
a spiritual revival of mankind, society, and the state. Working
together is our social principle, our national principle, our
international principle, and the most vital principle of the
reform of Europe.
The final decision of the Congress with respect to organizational
matters was to the lay the ground work for the future establishment
of the following three bodies:
1.
Europe Committee: To consist of two representatives from each
nation elected by their respective national organizations. Policy
making body of the organization. To meet from time to time under
a rotating chairmanship.
2. National Coordinating Committees: To be established in each
member nation and to.be the executive organ of the national
organization. Appoints the two representatives to the Europe
Committee and keeps in constant touch with the permanent See-
retariat.
3. Permanent Secretariat: Consists of a representative from each

A third congress of the movement was scheduled to take place in Paris
in January 1953, but due to the bitter dissension existing between two leaders
of the French affiliate, Rene BINET and Maurice BARDECHE, both of the Comite
National Erancais, it was decided by the Executive Committee to postpone
the congress until later in 1953.
A congress did take place in Paris, however, on 3-5 January 1953. This
congress which was called the Third Congress of National Organizations was
convoked by Rene BINET, despite the protests of the Executive Comittee of
the ESM, which claimed exclusive rights to hold such a congress. The "congress"
was attended by about thirty persons, most of whom were French. It soon became
apparent to the delegates present that BINET had organized the congress for the
purpose of capturing control of the ESM an existed his efforts to form a
new organization under his control.
The plan ended in failure, and BINET and the so called "third congress"
were denounced In strong terms by Per Engdahl at the next meeting of the
Executive Committee held the following month at Innsbruck, Austria.
No information-is_presently available as to when and where the next
congress of the ESM will take place.
Since the second congress in Malmo/the Executive Committee has met on an
average of about once every six months. Its activities
appear to have been largely confined to organizational and ideological matters,
but progress in both fields appears to have been slow.
Apparently the ideological program of the movement has not as yet been
firmly established. Early in 1953ENGDAHL made a trip throughout Europe
carrying with him a 'Jiliq thirty-two page document which is the
first draft of a manifesto wh6dw4* to be submitted to the representatives
of the national affiliates for discussion and approval before publication.

his idealistic creed on all aspects of human life such as racial doctrines,
society, the people, the state, economics, constitutional law, etc. In this
document ENGDAHL draws the conclusion that the corporative_
state is the best remedy for capitalism and communism. Finally,__he would
like to see a new European "empire" based on these principles
extend all the way from Dublin to Vladivostok.
ENGDAHL presented this manifesto to a meeting of the Executive Committee
at Innsbruck, Austria held on 28 February and 1 March 1953, but no information
is available as to whether the manifesto was acctable in theform submitted9
or will require _further discussion _end_ re iaisnefore any degree of unanimity
can be reached.

The situation in Italy is somewhat obscure. The
Movimento Sociale Italiano (M5I)appears to have
been one of the original affiliates of the ESM,
but apparently dropped out later as a result of
internal dissension over whether the Party should
align itself with an international fascist org-
anization. Collaboration with the ESM continued,
however. Recent information indicates that the
MSI is now preparing to rejoin the ESM

RELATIONS WITH SPAIN
In September 1951 representatives of a number of European
nationalists organizations gather'`in Madrid, Spain on the occasion of
the anniversary of the liberation of the Alcazar from-the Communists.
Representatives of a several national affiliates of the ESM
were present and, constituting themselves as a Special Committee, held
a series of conferences with leaders of other organizations present in
an effort to enlist their support and succeed in signing up such small
nationalist groups as:
a. The Dutch Werkgemeenschap Europa (Work Community Europa) of
Paul van TIENEN.
b. The Croatian emigre movement of Ante PAVELICH, which is headed
in Spain by the clergyman Dr. Fray Branko MARIC.
c. The Rumanian branch of the Iron Guard in Spain under Vasilei
IASSINKI.
Discussion were also held with leaders-of the Spanish Falange in
the hope of securing active Falange participation, but the committee was
advised that cooperation with foreign national organizations, although
very much desired, would have to await a solution of the problems then
under discussion between Spain and the United States.
Prior_to their departure the Special Committee decided to establish
a liaison office in Madrid which would coordinate the various groups in
Spain and would cultivate contacts with South America, Africa, and Asia.
One Jean BAUVERD was chosen to run this office, assisted by other 190
fascists (presumably e3dles) residing in Spain.
No information is available as to the accomplishments, if any,
this liaison office, nor whether it is still in existence.
Further discussions were held with Spanish representatives in,

 Sanitized - Approved For Release : CIA-RDP78-0-0915R000400120005-9
October. 1952 and again in January 1953. At first Spanish representatives
again expressed reservation about collaborating with an international
fascist organization due to Spain's delicate international position,
but saw no political harm in cooperating on a "cultural" basis. As a
result it was decided to set up a cultural section under Prof. Manuel
BALLESTEROS, one of the leaders of Falangist university groups, for the
express purpose of maintaining relations with the ESM.
Still later it was decided that the ESM would also set up a
cultural section, completely separate but parcel to the political
organization. Members of the latter would be invited to participate
in the former. This maneuver was for the purpose of enabling the
Falange to cooperate with the ESM without officially joining it.
The zzbmmt cultural sections referred to above apparently did
come into existence. However, in mid-1953 it was reported that a Spanish
cabinet minister had sanctioned the participation of a national Spanish
group in the ESM. The Spanish section, to be known as the Movemiento
Populare Europeo, is to be under the leadership of Patricia GONZALES de
CANALES, head of the European Cultural Exchange Center (LICE).
No information is presently available as to whether this group
has as yet officially affiliated,itself with the ESM.
