Monument To General Karol Swierczewski (EDM1281)

Monument To General Karol Swierczewski

EDM number 1281 in 2008-09, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 02/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage and Eastern Europe.

That this House notes the value and importance of the monument in the Polish city of Poznan commemorating the internationalism of General Karol Swierczewski, veteran of the International Brigades in Spain, widely believed to be the inspiration for the figure of General Golz in Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls; recognises the threat to it by the conservative powers there; and calls on the Government to make representations to the Polish authorities to ensure that the monument remains safe and respected and to ensure international solidarity preventing this act of political vandalism which has no place in modern Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
