Caracas, September 10 (RHC)-- Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez welcomed hundreds of activists from around the world who gathered to kick off the first “World Congress Against Fascism, Neofascism and Similar Expressions.”

In her opening speech on Tuesday, she recalled that Latin American history has been marked by grotesque expressions of the fascist extreme right that leave behind tortured and disappeared people.

“We, the South American people, have experienced it.  We have suffered and faced coups d’état, assassination attempts, imperial invasions, wars, and economic blockades,” she said, recalling that Washington has been behind the attack against Venezuela and the July 28th presidential elections.

“Before the elections, we warned about what was going to happen.  A plot of extremists established the dictatorship of algorithms on social media.  Directed from the United States, this operation invested millions of dollars,” Rodriguez stated, noting that the rise of contemporary fascism also occurs amid the peoples’ struggle for a multipolar world.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, September 10th and 11th, Venezuela is the epicenter of the fight against fascism, neo-fascism, and all manifestations of hatred.  The first World Anti-Fascism Congress brings together more than 300 delegates from 95 countries around the world.

“It is Russia’s fight against the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.  That must be said.  If fascism were to take over all the spaces on the planet, there would be no spaces left to inhabit,” she warned and invited the peoples of the world to consolidate an anti-fascist movement.

“We must unite as one mind and one soul to prevent fascism from spreading its tentacles throughout the planet.  It represents the most serious threat that humanity must face as a consequence of the predominance of capitalism and its neoliberal and imperialist development model.”

The Venezuelan vice president also recalled that Elon Musk and Erik Prince, who appear among the most visible leaders of global fascism, tried to carry out a coup against her country.

“Musk poured out his hatred towards Venezuela.  He and others serving the empire were fighting among themselves to take over Venezuela as a trophy,” she said before representatives of 95 countries participating in the Congress Against Fascism, which will take place today and tomorrow.
