During their participation in the World Anti-Fascist Parliamentary Forum, the delegation of Cuban parliamentarians raised and debated the genocide in the Gaza Strip; the coup attempts in Venezuela; the media campaigns and constant fake news against Cuba and the intensification of the blockade policy, which they consider to be the new faces of fascism in the 21st century.

In this regard, the historian, deputy and member of the Council of State, Elier Ramírez Cañedo, stated that the world “is really experiencing moments of great danger, where all of humanity is even in danger for its survival and that leads us to think of Fidel, since Fidel warned of many of these phenomena that today are on the surface”.

He assured that, as a delegate to the forum, he proposes ideas in favor of the unity of all resistance forces in the world, because “all the centers of resistance on the planet, the anti-imperialist tendencies and everyone who opposes fascism and neofascism, I believe that they must be articulated more than ever, in that great diversity”.

For his part, the deputy and president of Casa de las Américas, the Cuban Abel Prieto Jiménez, considered the event as a meeting with a high impact for nations and valued the opportunity for dialogue in the Homeland of Commander Hugo Chávez.

He pointed out that “it is essential because this has a legal side, an institutional side that is very important in the field of parliaments, and especially in those that, like ours, represent precisely the People and we are going to defend there the need for this committed and urgent analysis.”

Prieto Jiménez added that it is a transcendental forum, that although it has delegations from Europe and other parts of the planet, it still motivates parliamentarians from Latin America and the Caribbean to talk about integration, about Martí's dream, about Bolivar. “It's the best defense against fascism,” he stressed.

Also, together with members of the Cuba-Venezuela Parliamentary Friendship Group, the president, deputy and member of the Council of State, Yoerky Sánchez Cuéllar, stated that “for our people, arriving in Venezuela is always a privilege and this time much more, because of the issue that is calling us against fascism, neofascism and similar expressions.”

He said that the Cuban delegation “comes with the mandate, not only to denounce the criminal policy of blockade of the United States against my country, but also to support the legally elected Government of President Nicolás Maduro and to reach consensus for the good of Venezuela, Cuba, America and the world.”
