With the call to promote a broad discussion throughout the country to enrich and strengthen the Law against Fascism, Neo-Fascism and Similar Expressions, the president of the Permanent Committee on Internal Policy of the National Assembly (AN), Deputy Diosdado Cabello, emphasized that the fight against fascism “belongs to all of us”.

“Who disagrees against a law that punishes fascism? The fascists! It's very easy to determine,” he said, while dismissing the allegations that sectors of opposition extremism have launched against this draft legislation.

“It's not a law to persecute as they say out there, because that's not what it's about; those who burned living beings in Venezuela are protected in Spain and if Venezuela asks that that person be extradited, they say that the Venezuelan Government is persecuting that person and they declare themselves that way,” he said.

In this regard, he pointed out that “fascism is like this: fascism boasts and doesn't care what others think”, and recalled that “not only was discrimination practiced here for years, but sometimes very serious symptoms arise in political sectors of Venezuela with ties to the major spheres of the Government of the United States and European countries.”

Cabello referred to the case of the extremist and fugitive from Venezuelan justice Leopoldo López, who recalled “calling for and promoting a coup d'etat and violence, which generated a number of deaths with the help of the major media.”

“That man has now been converted from perpetrator to victim and those killed by Leopoldo López don't matter (...) they were people and they looked like Chavistas,” he questioned.

In that vein, he added that “if we succeed in eradicating these signs, positions and groups in Venezuela, we would be doing the world a great favor.”
