Key Points

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio brought together representatives from more than 60 countries with the aim of strengthening the Donald Trump administration's strategy to combat "left-wing political terrorism." At the meeting, it was claimed that there has been a concerning increase in these acts of violence, emphasizing that this situation constitutes a priority for international security.

Rubio argued that some segments are inclined to view left-wing violent acts as a legitimate political expression, calling on allies to take action on this issue. The call was realized mostly with the participation of European and Latin American countries, and it was noted that it points to a "blind spot" in the international counter-terrorism doctrine.

However, the subject is a matter of intense debate due to contradictory data. Experts and some studies state that the number of incidents attributed to left-wing groups has decreased to a non-negligible level in recent data and remains historically far below right-wing extremism violence.
