Zigmunt Szkopiak

Dr. Zygmunt Szkopiak was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Polish government-in-exile in London.

Dr.Szkopiak was a member of the Co-ordinating committee of the "European Freedom Campaign" group, established in London at an Inaugural Rally at Westminster Central Hall on 10th December 1988. This group's co-ordinating committee consisted almost exclusively of representatives from countries behind the Iron Curtain.

On the 17 August 1989, he had a letter in "The Daily Telegraph", signed as Minister of Foreign Affairs, explaining "the terms on which the Polish Government-in-Exile would cease to function." He added that "for the past 44 years we have continued as the legitimate government".

An ardent-anti-communist, Szkopiak was a supporter of the Western Goals Institute and was present at their dinner at Simpson's-in-the-Strand on 25th September 1989 for El Salvador's President, Alfredo Cristiani, and his inner cabinet.

At the close of 1989 the Polish Government-in-Exile (based at 43 Eaton Place, Belgravia, London, SW1 8BX) published a PR booklet on itself, its background and responsibilities. The various ministers are all named therein and there is a photo of the government as sworn in on 6th November, 1989. Szkopiak is third from the left.
