Yesterday in New York, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty during their first court appearance after being abducted by the US for « narco-terrorism » charges. In this timely podcast from our partners from Asymmetrical Haircuts, two experts – Brian Finucane (International Crisis Group) and Ignacio Jovtis (InterJust) – point out the satisfaction of many Venezuelans at seeing the head of state arrested. They also discuss the proceedings for international crimes allegedly committed under his regime brought before the International Criminal Court and in Argentina, and some of the hopes for a new dynamic beyond the US show of force.
