"Nicolás Maduro gave the order to confiscate the equipment and the recording, and four cameras and our work were stolen," said Jorge Ramos, as soon as he stepped on Miami. After a long night of uncertainty in Venezuela, he was first detained at Miraflores Palace, then stolen and eventually deported.
For Ramos, what happened shows Nicolás Maduro's "dictatorial nature" and asked him "to have the pants" to give the interview that "stole" him.
"If that's what they do to us, imagine what they will do to Venezuelan journalists and citizens", pointed out the journalist of Univisión, which angered Maduro during an interview. The government then withheld him and his staff, and confiscated the material and the 17 minutes of recorded interviews.
According to Ramos himself before boarding the plane that took him to US territory, the odyssey began after reporting with Maduro at the Miraflores Palace. "It was a tense and complicated interview, I asked him questions about the lack of democracy in Venezuela, about human rights violations, about political prisoners, about the humanitarian crisis … And, when i show him a video of young people eating in a garbage truck, he did not like that anymore, he tried to cover the ipad where i showed him the picture he was stopped, he said that the interview was over and that's where I tell Maduro that, do not answer questions and leave, that's what dictators do, not Democrats, "began his story Ramos.
And he continued: "A few seconds later, Jorge Rodríguez, the Venezuelan Minister of Communications, came to tell us that he had not allowed this interview and heard voices saying:" Do it leave the palace immediately. " Two security guards escort me to the entrance of the Miraflores Palace and put us in a surveillance room where they tear off the ipad, the cell phones and turn off the lights so that no one can see from outside or record. "
"He (Maduro) wanted to debate but in the end he could not stay, it's not his interview, this material comes to us, they steal our work, it's up to us, we ask that they give us the cameras , the interview material and we will make every effort to see who is telling the truth, "said Ramos indignantly.
Then he said that They took his phone and he was made a virgin"They took my cell phone and gave it to me at 1 am It is totally empty, probably hacked, I will never use it again".
"I'm sure that they still have this interview, they simultaneously recorded with three of their cameras in a private studio in the newsroom, this interview has not gone away, they do not want not deliver it, it's because they're afraid to see what happened during the interview, "he concluded.
