Address by Compañera Delcy Rodríguez, Vice President of Venezuela,at the World Anti-Fascist Parliamentary Forum I think that if anyone deserves, standing up, with applause of our Recognition, it is the Palestinian People for their Heroism demonstrated every second in this year of Resistance, in the face of one of the most terrible policies of genocide, one which has been going on for decades…
President Nicolás Maduro said … Every bomb that falls on Gaza is a bomb that falls on the United Nations system, one without the capacity to defend Nations, without the capacity to defend the Principles and Purpose of the Founding Charter of the United Nations, without the capacity to guarantee Peace, to children, to women, to grandparents, to grandmothers.
The message [on the faces of Palestinian children] for the People of the World is: Don’t give up, we don’t give up. No giving up, because there is hope.
And what we know today that is happening in the world is a new geopolitical reconfiguration, it is a new construction for an international economic morphology different from the one that has prevailed under the hegemony of the dollar, which has allowed criminal economic blockades to be imposed automatically, immediately, with the press of a key.
To date, there are 37,433 Unilateral Coercive Measures in the World, taking their effect on entire populations, massively violating Human Rights with what is a policy of extermination as well.
But I bring these data to reflect on: 91% of those sanctioned Countries are Energy-producing Countries, 91%. Russia, Iran, Syria, Iraq and Venezuela are energy-producing countries, and the largest Energy Reserves on the planet are also concentrated there.Behind these blockades and economic aggression against the Peoples, there is a very determined and very clear policy of seizing the energy resources of the Planet’s energy producers.
Zionism is not limited to the Palestinian territory. Zionism is a Global Project, and that’s why we see Milei, in the Southern Cone of our hemisphere, trampling on the Argentine People, as part of an International Network. It is not that it is limited to stealing Palestinian Territory, no. It is a project for taking over the World, the Planet, with a terrible, fascist concept of ignoring Human Beings and disrespecting Human Life.
From here also, our recognition to valiant Russia, to the Russian people who today are leading a historic battle against fascism and neo-Nazism.
President Maduro has said, we are an epicenter of the anti-fascist battle, because they want our Energy Reserves, but they also intend to destroy our Geopolitical, Political, Bolivarian Model.
The Function of the Compatible Left Seen in Its Attacks on the Venezuelan Revolution “Compatible left” was a term used by the CIA to describe those on the left it has deemed compatible with maintaining imperialist world rule.Hetland and Velasco capitulate to the US State Department position rejecting the electoral victory of Nicolas Maduro.Another of this type is Fred Fuentes, The US empire regularly cooks up human rights horror stories The Hetland-Velasco compatible left type functions as a conveyor belt for this US “regime change” propaganda into the progressive and anti-war movementthat this compatible left then feeds us, like this latest iteration of Chavista electoral fraud.
Orinoco Tribune: Diosdado Cabello: President Maduro’s Electoral Victory Stopped Fascism in its Tracks “Today we can say that Venezuela, on July 28, with the victory of the Bolivarian Revolution, stopped fascism in its tracks, here in Venezuela and in America. It paralyzed it because they were coming for Venezuela,” he declared. Cabello also stated that it has not been easy and recalled that Venezuela has the support of the free peoples of the world and friendly governments. “It is not just Venezuela,” he said. “It is not just Cuba. Going for Venezuela is going for all of America, for the free peoples, who have not surrendered to imperialism.”
Message from Nicaragua to the World Parliamentary Forum against Fascism, Neo-Fascism The Sandinista National Liberation Front, along with the People of Nicaragua and its Revolutionary Government, welcome this Forum for Discussion and Joint Adoption of Tasks so as to confront with greater courage and strength, this Struggle and all the Struggles against our universal Enemy: North American Imperialism in all its violent, genocidal facets.
Alí Primera’s Family on the New film “Alí Primera: La Pelicula” The relatives of the late singer expressed their disagreement with the film in a statement. “a large part of the opinions of Ali Primera’s children and wife were ignored in the post-production process and even in the decision to release the film. We are concerned that in the film we see many narrative elements that move away from the true representation of his real character. We call attention to the absence of scenes that show why Ali Primera is a living example for daily action, through the coherence of his conduct or regarding the Bolivarian theme.”
TeleSur: Venezuela Sends Aid to Cuba in Response to Hurricane Rafael “We are sending a ship with humanitarian aid that will arrive in Cuba in four days. We are preparing a second shipment with additional aid,” he said, referring to a load of approximately 300 tons that includes supplies, construction materials, and first aid equipment.
Venezuelanalysis: Maduro: Whoever Wins US Election Will Need to Dialogue with a Revolutionary Government in Venezuela “Whoever ends up in the White House, Trump or Kamala, they will face a revolutionary government in Venezuela, a Bolivarian government, a Bolivarian people with whom they will have to dialogue…We do not get involved in the internal affairs of the United States, we simply observe and maintain our path. Maduro issued a warning to the eventual winner to not fall for the same strategy employed by the opposition under Guaidó. “Whether one or the other wins, we hope that they do not allow the failed policies of the failed oligarchy to be introduced,” A recent report by Wired revealed the depth of US plotting against Venezuela.
