This article reconstructs the history and the polemics surrounding an operation of dismissals of the Congress for Cultural Freedom’s [CCF] local representatives in Latin America carried out between 1961 and 1964. The operation was a consequence of adoption of the new guidelines -“Opening to the Left”- implemented as a basis of the new Latin American program in response to the Cuban Revolution by the CCF’s executives. The process of dismissals in the local Committees dismantled the original Latin American program of the CCF and affected mainly representatives proceeding from the Spanish exile diaspora. In fact, the operation became a culmination of a process of marginalization of the Spanish exiles within the CCF structures. The study highlights the CCF’s politics of limiting of the personal political and cultural agendas of those of its employees who entered into collision with the Congress’s general ideological changing strategies.

作为“向左开放”战略的一部分，文化自由大会在拉丁美洲的代表被解雇（1961-1964）

本文重构了围绕 1961 年至 1964 年在拉丁美洲进行的解雇文化自由大会 [CCF] 当地代表的历史和争论。该行动是采纳新准则的结果——“向左派”——作为新拉丁美洲计划的基础实施，以响应 CCF 的高管们对古巴革命的反应。地方委员会的解职程序取消了原先的 CCF 拉丁美洲计划，并主要影响来自西班牙流亡侨民的代表。事实上，这次行动成为 CCF 结构内西班牙流亡者边缘化过程的高潮。
