The statement, called Entre Monroe y Ayacucho, focuses mainly on the context of the elections in Venezuela on July 28 (28J) and the danger posed by fascism and extremism for a fair and democratic process in the country.

Casa de las Americas, recalls the democratic crises that occur in Argentina and on the other hand the encouragement of the triumph of the Left in Mexico, with Claudia Sheinbaun.

The Cuban Latin American entity points out the failed attempts to frustrate Venezuelan democracy, “Unsuccessful assassination and invasion attempts, violent riots and terror, sanctions and theft of the country’s resources, and even the farce of a spurious president without a people, the media attack intensifies”.

The text reads,
Entre Monroe y Ayacucho. Declaración de la Casa de las Américas Un nuevo fantasma recorre el mundo: el del auge de la extrema derecha y el ascenso de un fascismo que creíamos desterrado a los libros de historia.

Casa de las Americas also warns, “He has already set in motion the disqualification machinery. An influential Spanish newspaper, for example, rushes to slip a poisoned suspicion: “the absence of observers from the European Union leaves the elections without a robust oversight”.

“The history of Latin America and the Caribbean has oscillated between the outrage of which their peoples have been victims for centuries and the struggles they have fought in blood and fire for their freedom,” the organization said.

 Making an analogy House of the Americas, associates the fascist right with the Monroe doctrine, while the progressive left identifies it with the Battle of Ayacucho, “which sealed the independence of South America,” he defined.

The onslaught of the hegemonic media does not allow us to forget that what is being played today in Venezuela is precisely one of those two alternatives: either Monroe or Ayacucho, said Casa de las Americas.

“La Casa de las Americas, faithful for 65 years to the project of cultural emancipation of our America, calls upon the intellectuals of the world, and particularly of the region, to follow closely the events in our brother country, the maneuvers of the local and global right, and to be alert to any attempt to usurp the sovereign decision of the Venezuelan people,” he said.
