00:00In parallel to the ceremony of President Nicolás Maduro on Friday, June 10th, the city is also

00:06hosting the International Anti-Fascist Festival.

00:11We are going live with Yunus Soner in Caracas for more details on this festival which ends

00:15today.

00:16Hello Yunus, what can you tell us?

00:22Hello good morning from here, from Caracas, the Carlota Convention Center where the World

00:29Festival of the Anti-Fascist International has gathered for its third day.

00:36More than 2,000 delegates from all over the five continents of the world have come together

00:43here to present, to prepare a joint struggle against global fascism and they will have

00:49a tight working day here in the Carlota Convention Center.

00:55It will start with three different simultaneously place taking reunions.

01:01The first will be a congress, an international congress of intellectuals, artists and social

01:07movements that will discuss how to move forward in this struggle against global fascism.

01:12The second reunion will be that of the social movements within ALBA, they will gather separately

01:19and the third will be also a meeting in the context of ALBA.

01:24The ALBA cultural working group will convene here in the Carlota Convention Center.

01:29The day then continues with a speech expected to be held by Diosdado Cabella who is the

01:35Venezuelan Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace and his speech has a much telling title.

01:43Its title is The People's Bolivarian Diplomacy, a Sword Against Global Fascism.

01:50After that there will be a lunch break and then the day continues with the closing plenary

01:55session of this World Festival of the Anti-Fascist International with concrete steps to be taken

02:04ahead.

02:05A plan of action for the year 2025 will be presented at this plenary session, the closing

02:12session and approved probably by the delegates, by the more than 2,000 delegates that are

02:18taking part here at this day.

02:20So we are facing a huge, a tight schedule, a lot of work lies ahead but we are also expecting

02:27at the end of the day to have some concrete results and decisions taken by this World

02:35Festival of the Anti-Fascist International taking place here in Carlota Convention Center

02:41in Caracas, Venezuela.

02:42Juniors, I have a quick question, you have been there for this past couple of days, what

02:48is the take of the people, of all these over 2,000 delegates taking part in this festival,

02:53what is their take on how this kind of festival can improve the struggle against fascism as

02:58many have said that Venezuela has become the capital we could say of the struggle against

03:02fascism around the world?

03:10Well that is something first we have to emphasize, all the delegates that we spoke to yesterday

03:16and the day before and these were like approximately 20 different delegates from 20 different countries,

03:23European countries, Asian countries, also some African countries, they emphasized that

03:28Venezuela has taken a lead in this global struggle against fascism which is also reflected

03:35in the fact that an executive secretary has already been established inside this Anti-Fascist

03:42International here in Caracas and this secretary, this executive secretary will organize, coordinate

03:49further the joint global struggle against fascism, excuse me, it is an anti-fascist

03:57gathering so it fights against fascism obviously and there were also some concrete decisions

04:02taken the day before yesterday, yesterday was more overshadowed by the inauguration

04:08of President Maduro's third term but the day before they have already decided to establish

04:15new communicational networks for instance, better coordination between intellectuals

04:20fighting against fascism globally from different countries, better coordination of joint work

04:29also specifically in what is called the social networks like those we can say hegemonic networks

04:40that actually belong to some certain rich people, I don't need to name them in the United States

04:45so there will be also a joint action in these networks which are still being followed by

04:51millions of people all over the world so there is two things going on here basically, one

04:58the ideological clarification of positions, the better coordination politically and the

05:06second thing is a better coordination towards more joint action with all these movements,

05:13with all these political parties, social movements and delegates coming from all over the world

05:19here to Caracas, Venezuela to pursue joint action concretely and we expect this to be

05:27reflected as I mentioned before in the 2025 plan of action that will be presented today

05:33to the delegates at the end of the day.

05:36Thank you Junius, we'll stay in contact for an upcoming news brief to have the latest

05:40in what is happening this last day of the International Anti-Fascist Festival.
