It said that Señor Carrillo and other members had originally told Moscow they would be able to go only for the end of the celebrations because of other commitments. However, after a delegation from Moscow arrived, including the Pravda editor to tell the Spanish party that Señor Carrillo was invited to speak and that his presence was requested from the beginning, the party changed its timetable and agreed. Señor Carrillo was then in- i vited to prepare a speech last- minutes—and he handed it in to be translated on arrival in Moscow. The party had by then told Moscow that he would arrive late as he had to attend theTRANSICIÓN congress of the Catalan Communist Part}'. The state• ment added that the Spanish knew the speech, was trans• lated but that Señor Carrillo was not called to speak. It added that the offer made to Señor Carrillo to speak at another meeting or outside Moscow was " inconsiderate" and anyway his schedule did not permit staying any longer. Señor Enrique Lister, Señor Carrillo's rival as secretary general of the Spanish Workers' Communist Party, formed after he was expelled from Señor Carrillo's party in 1970, re• turned to Madrid this evening after 38 years in exile. Fundación The pro-Moscow party of Señor Lister was recently legal• ized and he said on arrival at: Madrid airport that he intended to continue to fight for a com• munist society. His differences with Señor Carrillo are well known and their relations appear to have reached an all- time low. Señor Lister has called his rival a " political gangster ". A communist commander in the Spanish Civil War, Señor Lister went on to serve as a general in the armies of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Poland. 1 The Civil War, , 1 heroes and villains in blue and red W ^ ; f a Madrid cinema screen
