In this regard, the head of government of the Capital District, Nahum Fernández, assured that this mobilization will support the newly elected Venezuelan president, while rejecting fascism throughout the country.
“We have organized at least 100 cities and we will be with the 100 national marches where the states, through the capitals, the second municipalities, the electoral corridor and all that force that has the revolution, will manifest in joy”, indicates the call.
In his program “Con el mazo dando”, the first vice president of the PSUV, Diosdado Cabello, spread the call to the revolutionary and Chavista people. He assured that this Saturday the Venezuelans would go out to the streets to continue celebrating the victory of the Bolivarian Revolution.
The Far-Right Moves
On Saturday, the extreme right called a demonstration in the streets of Caracas and the reality is that these march had a low participation, almost nil. Despite the lies of the media corporations that assured that “the majority of the Venezuelan people” attended the call.
From the Eastern part of Caracas, the fascist demonstration was presided over by Maria Machado, spokesperson for the extreme right.
In the eyes of international imperialist media such as Infobae or the far-right direction of El Pais, the march is uniting thousands of Venezuelans, however from aerial shots you can see a minimum concentration of less than one block with at most 1,200 people.
This right-wing march, in the words of Communication Minister Freddy Ñañez, only seeks to make the strength of the people of Venezuela invisible to international public opinion, which will not happen, said Ñañez.
For his part, the First Vice-President of the PSUV, Diosdado Cabello, had already denounced the fascist attempts by the right to subvert order in the Venezuelan people this Saturday.
“They are looking for people who generate violence and kill people themselves,” said Cabello.
