“On the 51st anniversary of the coup against Allende, Venezuela is the epicenter of the fight against colonialism, fascism, and the currents that have derived from these,” said the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, during his participation in the closing of the Congress Against Fascism, Neo-Fascism, and Similar Expressions held in Caracas.
“More than 95 countries are [represented] here today in Caracas, bringing their voices and experiences,” he said this Wednesday, September 11.
In his opinion, the 1,200 delegates from various countries participating represent “a good starting point for advancing what should be a great international movement against imperialism that articulates forces for a new world, for peace, democracy, and humanity,” he added.
President Maduro said that according to big data and social media and the manner in which they are attempting to influence countries, empires build “a sociopathic clown. They build a Milei, an eccentric—there is something for everyone. They say that Milei is a great democrat, and he is just a great fascist.”
They can also create a technocratic businessman appear to be a humble person, explained President Maduro. The media manipulators can make a rich man appear to be poor and honest. Thus, they can create a Noboa in Ecuador. There are flavors for everyone: fascism, neo-fascism, and similar expressions, said the president.
Allende is needed
The Venezuelan president recalled the 51st anniversary of the death of Chilean President Salvador Allende in a US-backed coup: “How much we miss a Salvador Allende today, 51 years later. The wound is still open in Chile.”
Maduro described Allende as a persevering and courageous man, a leader without equal. A giant in the great history of Latin America and the Caribbean, Allende helped build one of the most popular leftist movements. “He was a democrat, a humanist who played on the field and within the lines of bourgeois democracy,” he said.
He also highlighted the importance of revolutionary struggles in Cuba resisting decades of criminal US blockade.
Cabello warns of false-flag operation
Venezuela’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, in his participation in the congress, warned that global fascism is trying to impose a new “false positive” against the country with an aircraft that was transporting drugs and was seized in Guinea Bissau. The airplane, they allege, came from Venezuela.
“I want to warn you,” said Cabello. “Right now, there is a false positive in the making: a tough one, with the issue of drugs. They caught a plane over there in Guinea Bissau that was coming from Venezuela. That plane was never in Venezuela. It never touched ground.” Cabello questioned the veracity of the headlines in the international press that reported on the issue.
“That [plane] is not from Venezuela, it is from drug trafficking,” added Cabello. “Here, the biggest consumer of drugs in the world is the North American empire. They are the ones who make the world produce drugs, but the bad ones are us Venezuelans.”
Cabello recalled that Venezuela does not condone the production of drugs but eliminates it and prosecutes it harshly. He recalled that more than 80 tons of narcotics have been seized in the country during the last year alone, “but the narrative for the world is a dictator … who uses the territory to destabilize the regions, for drug trafficking, for money laundering.”
