00:00Within the World Festival of the Anti-Fascist International,
00:03Caracas hosted anti-fascists from all over the world.
00:06Among the participants were several delegates from European countries
00:09who have described the neo-fascist wave and its purposes to our special envoy Juno Zuner.
00:18The European continent was the birthplace of fascism with the expression being derived
00:22from the Italian word fascio, bundle, referring to gangs of Mussolini.
00:26After its defeat in the Second World War,
00:28Italy became a parliamentary republic, which is being challenged today again.
00:33And they are trying to change our constitution, to make, to delay
00:42every democratic power, like the parliamentary power, they want to make an executive power.
00:51We have a strong independent magistratura and they want to put a judge under the government.
01:06Fascist challenges against established parliamentary order are not limited to Italy.
01:11Because in their nature they want to destroy the democratic institution as a whole.
01:20So yes, it's like opening the cage and letting the wolves in.
01:27Who are the sheep that fascists are after? Different countries, different answers.
01:32They are making the law against the demonstration outside.
01:36They make the straddle block, the typical way of battle of the workers.
01:44In Italy now it's a penalty that you can go to the jail for this.
01:49Because they want to curtail our rights, the rights which we take for granted now,
01:55because they are our rights. For example, all the rights that feminism has brought to
02:01not only the women, but the society as a whole.
02:04For example, the right to abortion, to a legal and safe abortion for all women.
02:11The European delegates say that neo-fascist wave rejects
02:15to accept political competition defining its opponents as enemies.
02:18Romanian politician Socioaca was barred by her country's constitutional court
02:23from becoming a candidate in the presidential elections in 2024.
02:28And because I'm against the oppression of the USA, the oppression of the European Commission
02:35and the oppression of Israel, and because I said free Palestine, I'm anti-Semite.
02:42That's why the constitutional court forbade me to candidate.
02:47Socioaca says that the United States and the European Union act as Romania's masters,
02:53calling everyone who calls for peace in Ukraine Romania's neighbor, a pro-Putin extremist.
02:58The fight against fascism needs to be international, agrees Aricale.
03:02The topic is the same. The fight for the peace, for a new peaceful world,
03:09for a multipolar world is common for us. And only if together, if we stand together against the
03:19power of the West, imperial West, we can fight them, because they are the less, they are few.
03:25The events organized in Venezuela play a key role in constructing that net against fascism.
