“We will not allow fascism to assault power in Venezuela,” said the Bolivarian leader, who called on citizens “to consolidate the victory against hatred, against lies, against manipulation.”
Assessing the Venezuelan political landscape after the July 28 presidential elections, Maduro said that progressive forces have achieved a resounding defeat of the coup attempt led by the U.S.-backed far-right opposition.
He described post-election attempts to destabilize the country through online disinformation campaigns as a “cyber coup d’etat,” warning that “woe betide anyone who falls for the narrative that attempts to justify a coup d’etat and the establishment of a violent regime.”
“Fascism has failed in Venezuela. We have defeated it!” stressed the Bolivarian leader, referring to the wave of violence unleashed by the far-right “Small Commandos” in parts of Caracas and other cities.
On Monday, Maduro also confirmed that the United Socialist Party of Venezuela and all the political alliances that are part of the Great Patriotic Pole Simon Bolivar will soon hold the “World Congress against Fascism, Neofascism and Similar Expressions.”
This event will be an opportunity for Venezuelan progressive forces to fine-tune strategies and proposals for the defense of their nation against the onslaught of the most violent expressions of the contemporary extreme right.
