Mexican representative Ernesto Villarreal: Fascism is a monster with a thousand faces

The coordinator of the deputies of the Labor Party in the Congress of Mexico, Ernesto Villarreal, said yesterday that fascism “is a monster, it has a thousand faces, just like that of Milei in Argentina, that of Bukele, that of Israel and like the one that lived in Venezuela”, since it is “the extreme and deep part of the right”.

In the Al Aire program, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión, he considered that Venezuela's call for the World Anti-Fascist Parliamentary Forum is important because it “shows what the stages are, what their faces are and how to recognize them, and it also provides you with the tools to know what are the tasks that parliamentarians have to face fascism”.

Villarreal recalled that the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, participated remotely in an international seminar that took place in Mexico with more than 200 left-wing political parties from more than 70 countries.

On that occasion, he commented that “he was already warning us about the great problem that fascism and neofascism entail in the world and that generated controversy and suspicion on this issue; that's why we are here today”.

On the other hand, referring to the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, she said that “today we are proud to be represented by a woman scientist, activist and trained, undergoing an important transformation, after the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador”.

He added that “this has led to a first fight with the reactionary right when he announced the reform of the Judiciary, which has been maintained as one of the fundamental changes in Mexico and that is where fascism is manifested in an important way behind the interests of the potentates.”

Regarding the challenges faced by President Sheinbaum, Deputy Pardo, pointed out that this new political phase has been called “the construction of the second floor of transformation”, since they work on the growth and great changes of the global, ecological struggle, women's rights and their demand.
