Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Spanish journalist Ignacio Ramonet, during the latter’s meeting with the President at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas.
Ignacio Ramonet: Mr. President, first of all, allow me to wish you a Happy New Year.
The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro: Thank you.
Ignacio Ramonet: And, on the other hand, I would like to thank you for agreeing to give this interview, which is interview number 10, since we began these meetings at the beginning of the year, which have become a classic. Last week, an article appeared in France, for example in a weekly newspaper, with an article against me and in particular focused on the fact that I am the journalist who interviews you every first of the year.
Nicolás Maduro: Are these people afraid of the interview?
