THE International Anti-Fascist World Festival came to a close in the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Saturday.
The 2,000 delegates from 125 countries called for the consolidation of international anti-fascist action.
President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, closed the festival by thanking delegates “on behalf of all of Venezuela,” saying that “we are at peace, in democracy, in full exercise of our national sovereignty, and the people are moving forward in this new stage.”
