Ramón Serrano Suñer

Portrait by [[Ignacio Zuloaga]] Ramón Serrano Suñer (12 September 1901 – 1 September 2003), was a Spanish politician during the first stages of Francoist Spain, between 1938 and 1942, when he held the posts of President of the FET y de las JONS caucus (1936), and then Interior Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister. A neofalangist originally from the CEDA, Serrano Suñer came to embody the most totalitarian impetus within the regime. Serrano Suñer was known for his pro-Nazi stance during World War II, when he supported the sending of the Blue Division to fight along with the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. He was also the brother-in-law of Francisco Franco's wife Carmen Polo, for which he was informally nicknamed ''Cuñadísimo'' or the "most brother-in-law" (in comparison, the dictator himself was styled as ''generalísimo'').

Serrano Suñer was the founder of the 67,000-strong Spanish blind people's organization ONCE on 13 December 1938, as well as of the EFE press-agency, in 1939. Serrano Suñer also founded the Radio Intercontinental radio network in 1950. Provided by Wikipedia
