ON January 9-11 2025, the World International Anti-Fascist Festival: For a New World was held in Caracas, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
These dates included the momentous day of January 10, when President Nicolas Maduro Moros was sworn in for his third term as president and leader of the Chavista people’s movement. The festival consisted of speeches, seminars, stalls and networking events for the more than 2,000 delegates, from over 125 countries which attended.
On the opening day, vice-president Dr Delcy Rodriguez Gomez described the necessity of the event: recognising and countering the resurgence of a fascist international, particularly visible in the rise of far-right parties across “liberal democracies.”
