Ramón Serrano Suñer (12 September 1901 – 1 September 2003), was a Spanish politician during the first stages of General Francisco Franco's dictatorship, the Spanish State, between 1938 and 1942, when he held the posts of President of the Spanish Falange caucus (1936), and then Interior Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister. Serrano Suñer was known for his pro-Third Reich stance during World War II, when he supported the sending of the Blue Division to fight along with the Wehrmacht on the Russian front.〔(La Etapa de Ramón Serrano Súñer en el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores )〕 He was also the brother-in-law of the Spanish dictator General Franco, for which he was nicknamed ''Cuñadísimo''. 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. EFE was founded with Navarrese journalist Manuel Aznar Zubigaray and his Basque falangist son Manuel Aznar Acedo (a Spanish army officer, journalist and propaganda broadcaster), the father of José María Aznar, Prime Minister of Spain from 1996 to 2004. Serrano Suñer also founded the Radio Intercontinental radio network in 1950. ==Early life== He was born Ramón Serrano y Suñer in Cartagena, the fifth of seven children born to an engineer working in the Valencian port of Castellón de la Plana. Although he was an excellent student, his father disapproved of his plans to become a lawyer. He enrolled at the Madrid University to study law, just the same. A fellow student was José Antonio Primo de Rivera (son of Spanish dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, and founder of the Falange). He also spent a year in Bologna, during which he developed a taste for fascism. Ramón Serrano Suñer and Francisco Franco were co-brothers-in-law, since the two married two sisters: Serrano Suñer married Ramona (Zita) Polo y Martínez-Valdés, in Oviedo on 6 February 1932, whom he had met shortly after moving to Zaragoza in 1931. Franco married Carmen Polo y Martínez-Valdés in October 1923. Ramón Serrano Suñer and Zita Polo had six children: Fernando, Francisco, Jaime Javier, José, María del Pilar and Ramón Serrano-Suñer y Polo.〔(Ramón Serrano Súñer ) 〕 Carmen Díez de Rivera e Icaza was Ramón Serrano Súñer's illegitimate daughter with the Marquis of Llanzol's wife. Carmen unknowingly tried to engage with his son (and her half-brother) Ramón Serrano Suñer y Polo, who later became a leftist politician and member of the European Parliament.〔( María Luisa Mataix, "Carmen Díez de Rivera e Icaza". ) A short biography in Spanish (December 2002), based on Ana Romero, ''Historia de Carmen. Memoria de Carmen Díez de Rivera,'' Editorial Planeta.〕 Carmen, a most beautiful woman in her youth, with blue "aryan" eyes, like Serrano's, was highly educated and fluent in several languages. She became the Personal Secretary of Adolfo Suarez, the first democratically elected Spanish President. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramón Serrano Suñer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
