Maduro declared April 30 the Day of the Victory of Mankind over Fascism

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared April 30 the Day of the Victory of Mankind over Fascism. He made the corresponding statement on the air of the Venezolana de Televisión TV channel.

"In 1945, on a day like today, the world heard on the radio and learned from telegraphic messages — there were no social networks then, there were no satellites — that the Red Army of the Soviet Union entered Berlin, defeated Hitler and planted the banner of the Soviet Union over the Reichstag," he said.

The Venezuelan leader clarified that it was this event that marked the victory of the Red Army over Nazism.
