Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the significance and role of the diplomatic mission of Count Józef Potocki in Spain in the years 1944-1968. After the end of World War II the Spanish State recognized the legal Polish Government in London, whose representative on spanish soil was Józef Potocki. As the diplomatic representative of the Polish State in Exile, under the law of the Second Republic of Poland, he was head of the diplomatic mission in Madrid at the time when Poland was deprived of its independence. He represented pre-war Poland, which, in the face of German and Soviet aggression during World War II, and after geopolitical changes on the continent, had to remain in exile as a victim of the politics of force. The article presents selected areas of Józef Potocki’s activity in Spain. It describes the minister’s various social initiatives, his relations with the Spanish authorities, his activity on behalf of Poles in the country and in exile, and the characteristics of the functioning of the Polish colony in Spain organized around the legal Polish Legation in Madrid.
