The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, stressed this Monday that the country is fighting a strong battle against fascism, whose actions he compared to those executed during the Franco regime in Spain.

“A million exiles and an atrocious dictatorship that of Francisco Franco, which lasted 40 years and which sowed the anti-values of hatred, of fascism, of contempt, of colonialism, of racism, in the depth of a society that still today - the Spanish one - fights against the ghostly and zombie remnants of Franco's regime, expressed in political groups such as bots that claim conquest, genocide and colonialism in America and that are the backbone of the new fascism in Europe,” said the Head of State.

During the meeting of the Council for the Defense of the Nation and the Council of State, the Dignitary warned that “today in Venezuela, under very different conditions, the same battle is taking place, in peace, with a powerful and strong institutionality, a Popular Power with territorial capacity to guarantee peace, work and the life of the People.”

He also stressed that the nation has “a cohesive, patriotic Military Power, willing to fight with the will to fight, with its own doctrine, with a strategic backbone concept of the defense of the homeland and the transcendental values of Bolivarian, Christian humanism”, as well as “five solid constitutional powers in a permanent process of renewal (...) that have been able to face different circumstances”.

In this regard, he exalted “the strong recovered Legislative Power, the robust Judicial Power, the unique Electoral Power in the history of our America, the active citizen Moral Power with initiative, prestige and legal and constitutional strength; the Executive Power uniting the forces of the nation.”

President Maduro pointed out that 100 years ago “Nazism and fascism were the demonic reaction of the powerful, privileged people and empires against what they considered a danger: the ideas of socialism and the consolidation of a new power. But today, fascism and neofascism have re-emerged,” he warned.
