World Congress against Fascism
On Tuesday, the Venezuelan regime inaugurated the ‘World Congress against Fascism, Neofascism and Similar Expressions’ in Caracas, with the participation of international “social movements”, with the aim of “strengthening the fight against this threat,” according to Maduro authorities.
During the opening of this meeting, Venezuelan Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez called for the creation of an “international anti-fascist movement” with the aim of combating this “extremist current.”
“We must unite (…) to fight and not allow fascism to spread its tentacles on this planet, because it is the most serious threat facing humanity today, I would say next to the climate emergency, all the product of a single system, of a single production model, which is capitalism and its neoliberal and imperialist development,” said the Minister of Petroleum, quoted in an official note.
