“I say it: extreme fascist project or democratic Bolivarian project.” The two options were presented by President Nicolás Maduro during the closing of the electoral campaign in Barcelona (Anzoátegui) on July 22. Four months after that alert, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello gave a few glimpses of this “extreme fascist project.” He did so at the World Antifascist Parliamentary Forum held between November 4 and 5 at the La Carlota Convention Center.
Cabello was saying the characteristics of that “extreme project” so that the parliamentarians present could look in that mirror. “Fascism is united,” said the minister, who warned that the main political actors navigating this current “communicate and articulate strategies.” Strategies that do not remain on paper, according to Cabello, because “when they target a town, they unload all their force against that town.”
In his dissertation, Cabello continued with his description by saying that fascism “has a lot of money.” Precisely, at the beginning of this year, intelligence reports revealed Elon Musk, the tycoon of triple nationality (South African, American and Canadian) as the main financier of Edmundo González (more than 1 million dollars), one of the nine contenders who the opposition registered for the presidential elections.
Even the owner of the social network X, in addition to posting videos in support of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, presented himself as if he were the true presidential candidate. “If I win, he resigns as dictator of Venezuela. If he wins, I will give him a free trip to Mars,” he wrote.
When Musk’s support for González was publicly revealed, Maduro listed the factors behind the “extreme fascist project”, grouped into four legs: “US imperialism, the international right, Colombian drug trafficking and Elon Musk.” That’s why Cabello said in the La Carlota forum that the members of that fascist current “don’t care about anything at all” because “they have a lot of money, media.”
Another of the signs of fascism, alerted by Cabello, is the ability of this current to change and adapt to the circumstances of the countries, in order to insert itself into societies. “Fascism mutates; “Sometimes he puts on a military uniform, but other times he puts on a cassock,” warned the minister, who added that fascism “tries to camouflage itself among the people until it takes shape and when it takes shape, sometimes it is too late.”
Cabello closed the point by saying that in Venezuela they dealt a blow to fascism on Sunday, July 28, the day of the presidential elections that saw candidate Nicolás Maduro as the winner.
The 27 deaths
Precisely, after those elections, acts of violence occurred that Cabello describes as expressions of fascism. The figures from the Public Ministry speak of 27 murdered by groups of hooded men who traveled on foot or by motorcycle to reach the outbreaks that took over streets, avenues, setting fire to tires, cars and destroying premises.
The highest number of deaths occurred in the state of Aragua, specifically when a group of individuals tried to assault the Parachute Brigade, located in San Jacinto, Maracay. Six people were shot dead there, including the 1st Sergeant of the Bolivarian National Guard, José Antonio Torrents Blanca (26), who came to help contain the violent group that attacked the military establishment.
“Terrorist groups fired shots at the officials; Torrents received one in the neck that caused his death,” Attorney General Tarek William Saab reported at the time, who specified that the material author of that crime is Reiner José Márquez Velásquez, who was identified through Tracking 15 fugitives of the destabilizing plan a video and he is detained. Most of the deceased were shot in the back and head.
Many of the violent actions were commanded by gang leaders who were not in Venezuela and were sent for that specific task, such as Héctor Guerrero
Flores (Niño Guerrero), as revealed by President Maduro. “First they issued the decree declaring him a terrorist and (then) they told him ‘you go to Venezuela, you do this, so that you can save yourself,'” Maduro commented on July 31 from Miraflores where he offered a press conference to international media correspondents.
In that press conference, the head of state also pointed out Wilexis Acevedo Monasterios (the Wilexis) as the activator of violence for political purposes. He described him as the “undisputed leader of the commandos in Petare,” alluding to those structures created by Machado.
The head of state has said that these structures called “comanditos” are the most complete expression of fascism and the spearhead of a developing coup d’état.
“We are facing a cyberfascist and criminal coup d’état,” said Maduro on August 4 when leading the central event of the 87 years of creation of the GNB held in the open spaces of the Ministry of Defense, from where he noted that the Hatred is the main ingredient of the fascist resurgence.
“An imperialist coup d’état, which has fascist characteristics, full of hatred against the institutions,” described the national leader in front of GNB officers, among whom were several who were injured while stopping the violent actions in locations in Venezuela after that Machado was unaware of the results of the presidential elections.
At that event, Maduro explained that he described the revealed coup d’état as “cyberfascist” “because we are receiving the cyber attack on all social networks to fill Venezuela with hate and divide.” And he elaborated on the fascist component “because it is its main characteristic: hatred, violence, irrationality.” And criminal “because it has had a significant group of criminals trained abroad, paid and bought here to attack hospitals, schools, universities, protection modules.”
Precisely, one month after that statement by the first president, Minister Diosdado Cabello reported on the capture in Zulia, Amazonas and Aragua, of a series of foreigners who had been in the country since before the elections planning violent events directed by extreme groups. right, according to investigations based largely on the testimonies of those captured.
On two occasions, Cabello has appeared before the media to offer details of that plan, the detainees and the seizure of 541 American-made weapons that entered the country under other presentations, for example, in dog food. Interpol confirmed that these weapons entered Venezuela illegally, according to a communication.
Due to these plans, 67 people have been detained and 15 people are fugitives. Among those detained are 29 Venezuelans and 17 foreigners, including seven Americans, two Spaniards, one Czech, one Lebanese, one Peruvian and three Colombians, according to the data presented by Cabello.
Last Saturday, September 14, was the first public appearance of the Minister of the Interior exhibiting some of the seized rifles. “These rifles were for terrorist events that were going to occur here in Venezuela; terrorism promoted by political sectors,” explained Cabello, who pointed out Iván Simonovis as the person responsible for the trafficking of these weapons, with links to María Corina Machado, Juan Pablo Guanipa, Carlos
Vecchio and Julio Borges. Attack on water, electricity, transportation services and hacking of State agency systems was the catalog of actions, Cabello explained, adding that these plans are planned from Ecuador, the United States and Spain.
One of those first actions would be the throwing of grenades towards the headquarters of the Argentine embassy, where some Venezuelans belonging to the political structure of María Corina Machado are located. “If the Argentine embassy was attacked, where some opposition members are located, it was immediate that the person they were going to blame would be the Government of Venezuela,” said Cabello, who announced the capture of those linked to the frustrated attack.
The Argentine embassy chapter was part of a more comprehensive plan reminiscent of those outlined by American spokesmen, whose main emphasis is on chaoticizing Venezuela, making it ungovernable, so unsustainable that it forces President Maduro to resign, as suggested. María Corina Machado.
“Surround the kidnapper as they do when there is a prolonged kidnapping with hostages. You cut off his water, you cut off his electricity, you cut off his weapons, you cut off his money, and then when the kidnapper sees that with each passing day his situation deteriorates and that he is surrounded, then it is the kidnapped person who has the incentive to negotiate.” , he told the Ewtv channel.
Apparently, this plan was being carried out in Venezuela by Josep Castañeda, the active US soldier captured in a hotel in La Victoria (Aragua). The components of that plan communicated through WhatsApp groups with religious names, such as the Christian Church Under Your Teaching and Let’s Love the Lord; This makes evident one of the characteristics of fascism described by Cabello: camouflage. “The United States knows how to execute destabilization operations,” Cabello concluded.
The projection of these plans aimed at the overthrow of Maduro by violent means remain in place, regardless of the change of command in the White House that occurred on November 5 with the victory of Donald Trump. Not in vain, two days after that event, the Minister of Defense, Vladimir Padrino López, warned that “new actions are being prepared by various international organizations that serve the interests of transnational corporations.”
