Critical Thinking: In Brussels, European Fascism Attacks Venezuela

By Geraldina Colotti, Resumen Latinoamericano, September 13, 2025.

On September 11, the day that commemorated Pinochet’s coup d’état in Chile against the socialist government of Salvador Allende 52 years ago, in the European Parliament, what can rightly be considered a new Nazi-fascist (and Zionist) international once again bared its teeth against Bolivarian socialism. With 355 votes in favor, 173 against, and 15 abstentions, MEPs effectively approved a resolution proposed by the Spanish party Vox and the Patriots for Europe group to include the so-called Cartel of the Suns, which the far right claims is led by Nicolás Maduro, on the list of terrorist organizations.
