Winks at Vladimir Putin: Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuela organizes a counter-summit to protest against what NATO will do in Madrid

The Venezuelan ruling party has confirmed that it will organize itself on 28 and 29 June a NATO counter-summit in the state of Táchira, on the border with Colombia, a protest of the appointment that the Atlantic military alliance will hold on that same date in Madrid and which will have as its central theme the war in Ukraine.

The deputy of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and member of the campaign committee “No more NATO” Julio Chavez ratified the activity, in which “different types of conferences will be held: forums, meetings, discussions, concentrations and public events”.

This meeting will take place as response to the next NATO summitwhich will have as central themes the accession of Sweden and Finland as partners of the organization and the requests to strengthen the eastern flank of the alliance, both issues following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Chávez also stated that in the counter-summit “proposals will be collected that will feed the document that the Latin American delegations will bring in August to a World Summit against Fascism organized by the Russian Federation“.

In August, Russia will hold a meeting called the “International Anti-Fascist Congress”, in which it hopes to unite its allies in the midst of the war in Ukraine and which will take place as part of the Armiya 2022 military-technical forum organized by the Russian Defense Ministry. .

Venezuela chose its business to take place in San Cristóbal because it is the capital of Táchira, which is a border state with Colombia, bearing in mind that the neighboring nation became a major non-NATO ally on May 23.
