History
A law dated 2 November 1940, published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado on 7 November, gave birth to the organ.[1][2] The text, that put Spain as the "spiritual axis of the hispanic world, with title of preeminency in regards to the universal concerns", made a passing mention in the articles to the possibility, unattainable in the short term, of a some kind of political union (Art. #2), a feature characteristic of the falangist ideology.[3] Two months later, the composition of the Council was decided and, in April 1941, the bylaw of the organization was passed.[4] These later regulations also attenuated the imperialist whims present at the Law.[5] The membership included public officials, military personnel, falangist leaders, religious figures and right-wing intellectuals, amounting for 74 councillors.[6][n. 1]
Until the creation of the Council of the Hispanidad, the issues related to Hispanic America were under the control of the Falange Exterior,[9] organ of FET y de las JONS charged with the action of the party abroad. Later, the Service of the Falange Exterior maintained a pre-eminent role in the propaganda in Hispanic America.[10]
Manuel Halcón was the Chancellor of the Council until his dismissal in July 1943. The vacant was not covered.[11] His chancellery (a sort of executive board) was formed since April 1941 by Halcón, along Manuel Aznar, Fernando Castiella, Jesús Pabón, Antonio Tovar, Felipe Ximénez de Sandoval and Santiago Magariños.[12][13][14] The entity, in a progressive decline since the fall from grace of Ramón Serrano Suñer,[15] was subject to a re-purposing proposal at the end of 1942, in order to overcome the criticism coming from the US, that labelled the council as pro-Fascist and anti-American.[16] Its functions were replaced in December 1945, after the end of the World War II, by the newly created Institute of Hispanic Culture.[17]
