Government prepares an anti-fascism congress

He The anti-fascism congress that the government of Nicolás Maduro is preparing for this week in Caracas will bring together more than 1,000 national and foreign delegateswho will make a diagnosis of the current situation of this doctrine in the world, reported the Vice-Chancellor for Latin America, Rander Peña.

“We estimate that there will be more than 1,000 delegates, both national and international, who will participate in the congress,” said Peña, who pointed out that the “global” meeting begins this Tuesday, despite the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had recently announced that it would be held on September 11 and 12.

The official explained that one of the objectives of the congress will be to diagnose “the aggression that fascism and similar actions are having in the world” and “not only in Venezuela,” which he considers “the most visible epicenter of the battle” against that doctrine.

The plan is expected to be drawn up for an “action plan coordinated by all sectors and actors” focused on “neutralizing the effects” of “the fascist right” in the world.

He said that fascism, motivated by “its hatred,” is trying to “take political power in the worst possible way,” and that the fight against it seeks to “guarantee the survival of human life on planet Earth.”

The congress was announced on August 19 by Nicolás Maduro, who asked to invite personalities “from all continents,” without mentioning anyone in particular.

The government is preparing this activity when the country is going through a political crisis following the presidential elections of July 28, in which Maduro was re-elected for a third consecutive term, according to the National Electoral Council (CNE), a result questioned by a large part of the international community and rejected by the majority opposition, which the government describes as “fascist.”

That anti-Chavez sector – grouped in the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD)– denounces “fraud” and insists that the winner of the elections was its standard-bearer, Edmundo González Urrutia, who arrived in Spain on Sunday after leaving Venezuela, considering that he was suffering political and judicial persecution after the elections.
