The far-right in Venezuela is supported and funded by global Zionism, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro told Al Mayadeen, adding that the Zionist influence in the media and social media is behind the attempted coup in Venezuela.

Maduro said on Saturday that his victory in the country's presidential election on July 28 is the greatest proof of what a people can do for their independence, dignity, and future.

He stressed that Venezuela will always stand with Palestine and condemned what he described as "the worst genocide since Hitler," which is being committed against the people of Gaza and Palestine.

The Venezuelan President affirmed Caracas' support for "Arab and Muslim causes that will triumph sooner or later," adding that hope, strength, and the right to life will emerge from suffering.

In a separate context, Maduro confirmed that Venezuela had been invited to the BRICS summit and that he received congratulations after winning the presidential election.

"The world no longer depends on the decisions of Washington, the extreme capitalist right, or the new fascism," he concluded.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil announced on Friday that Maduro has been invited to the upcoming BRICS summit, scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia, this October.

This comes as Maduro is facing a fierce US-backed campaign that claims that the election was "fraudulent" and that the opposition's far-right candidate Edmundo Gonzalez has won the presidential race.

Maduro's victory sparked nationwide riots and violence, driven by opposition claims of electoral fraud and widespread skepticism over the results.

This plays out as a déjà vu of what the US did during the last elections in Venezuela.

Venezuela was thrown into a political crisis in January 2019 when Juan Guaido, the former head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, backed by the US, declared himself interim president in an attempt to depose Maduro.

But Maduro announced that his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) was prepared to provide 100% of its vote records.

Later, Venezuela's Supreme Court initiated an audit of the presidential election results and summoned all 10 presidential candidates to provide testimony before the Electoral Chamber on August 2.

US leading coup attempt that aims to install "Guaido 2.0": Maduro

At a press conference held with local and international media on Saturday, Maduro called for "maximum understanding and support from all Venezuelans until all manipulations related to the cyber coup against the people and democracy are clarified."

He accused the United States, the international fascist right with Elon Musk, and the global extreme capitalist forces of leading a coup, with Washington being at the forefront of the attempted coup that aims to install a "Guaido 2.0".

Maduro also addressed businesspeople in Venezuela and asserted that his government guarantees stability, adding that "if the fascist right comes to power, all business opportunities will end."

"They will give oil and gas to the same people as always and suppress the entire economy," he added.

The Venezuelan President pointed out that whoever wins the US presidential election should know that if they succeed in destabilizing Venezuela, the consequences for their country, the world, and the region will be "extremely severe".

In the same context, the Venezuelan presidency rejected statements attributed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in which he claimed that there was "overwhelming evidence" that Venezuela's presidential election was won by opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia. 

The presidency described Blinken's statements as "dangerous and ridiculous," accusing Washington of leading a coup attempt in Venezuela, inciting riots against the country, and promoting a violent agenda against the Venezuelan people and their institutions.
