Listen to our episode on the current catastrophe that is Venezuela. We focus on the recent declaration of National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó as interim President and how sitting President Nicolás Maduro is not thrilled by this move. We also talk about how other nations are reacting to the situation and how the ongoing crisis emerged. By ongoing crisis we mean: fleeing refugees, starvation, crackdown by the military against protesters and the eroding of democratic institutions/laws, thanks Maduro.
