During this international event, workers, farmers, youth, and social activists will discuss collective actions to respond to the neoliberal assault on the sovereignty of nations.

The festival will feature the Third International Communication Congress and include the forum “Continuity of the Bolivarian Revolution, Anti-Fascist Struggle, and Multipolarity,” which will be led by Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez.

The event will also include sector-specific festivals focused on the following themes: “Women in the Anti-Fascist Struggle: Building Emancipatory Feminism”; “Youth and Students: The Vanguard in Constructing a Multipolar World”; “Social Movements and the Articulation of a Global Popular Agenda”; “Workers in Resistance: Unionism and Anti-Fascism in the 21st Century”; and “The Struggle of Indigenous Peoples Against Colonialism and Fascist Extractivism.”

Rander Peña, Venezuela’s Deputy Minister for Latin America, welcomed the secretary of the São Paulo Forum, Mônica Valente, who arrived in Caracas along with members of 42 political parties from Latin America to participate in the Grand Festival.

On January 10, festival participants will hold a “Grand Anti-Fascist March” in support of President Nicolas Maduro, who will be sworn in before the National Assembly. The proposal to hold the Anti-Fascist Festival emerged in November 2024 during the closing of the World Congress of Anti-Fascist Youth and Students.

At that time, the Bolivarian president supported the call for an event aimed at “laying solid foundations for the creation of a powerful global organic structure to defeat and eradicate fascism, neo-fascism, Zionism, and similar expressions.”
