With the participation of 52 delegations, the International Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Fascist Conference was installed this Wednesday in the Yellow House in Caracas, an initiative promoted by the Simon Bolivar Institute for Peace and Solidarity between Peoples (ISB), which seeks to articulate voices from the Global South in rejection of imperialist policies against peoples and in defense of sovereignty and the right to self-determination.

In the opening speech, the president of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), Henry Parra, assured that the Venezuelan people are being attacked by the United States (USA), an imperialist government that promotes a hostile policy with the intention of illegally assaulting and invading the peoples of the world.

“Venezuelans have an anti-imperialist spirit, not only a product of our neocommunist, Marxist-Leninist conception, but the product of a historical formation, bequeathed by our Liberator Simon Bolivar,” he said.

This forum is proposed as a space for the confluence of alternative proposals in the face of unilateral coercive measures imposed by dominant powers, said the representative of the International Solidarity Committee (COSI), Carolus Wimmer, who also highlighted the need to build a geopolitics based on equity, sovereignty and international solidarity.

In this context, the spokesperson for Argentina's social movements, Néstor Kohan, urged encouraging the participation of young people to defend democratic and anti-fascist values, as well as the defense of the human species. “Youth must form a research center dedicated to the study of critical issues concerning fascism and its effects on the world,” he proposed.

The forum, organized by the ISB, generates a political discourse favorable to the emergence of a new world and contrary to the hegemonic visions of neofascist powers; represented by activists, community leaders and representatives of social movements around the world.
