He was born the prototype of the investigative reporter: Jorge Ramos, 60 years old, and grew up in Mexico, now a US citizen. In the course of his career, he has written about the fall of the Berlin wall, the terrorist attacks in New York, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. For thirty years, he moderated the Spanish-language news program “Noticiero Univisión”, has won eight Emmys and eleven books written. So he is not only the best-known Latin-American Journalist, but almost something of a pop star: according to surveys, so popular, such as footballer Lionel Messi, and singer Shakira.
It is therefore questionable whether the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro a Favor has been done than he began on a Monday, it is exactly these journalists, in a dark room, locked, and finally out of the country to create let. Because Ramos is popular and networked enough that, worldwide, about the incident, it was reported.
During Maduro to date, particularly government-friendly media received, he asked in the last few days even more critical of journalists like the British BBC or Euronews for an Interview. On Monday evening he met on Ramos. Known for his tenacity and probing questions to the address of rulers, made Ramos his name. He asked Maduro to the humanitarian crisis in the country, human rights violations, of which he is accused of, according to political prisoners, of which Maduro 900 locked up. 17 minutes of the conversation had been carried out without incident, said Ramos later, even if the President had been pleased about his questions.
For Ramos are not conflicts with rulers new
But then showed the Journalist with him on his iPad, a self-made Video. To see young people were, how they snatched food out of a garbage truck and Maduro rant. The President is no good and must be gone. Instead of saying something, Maduro after that, and left the room, his Minister of information, lamented that the whole Interview was a Washington-driven staging. Ramos and his five-man television crew were locked in a room, and Maduro’s employees confiscated their cameras, backpacks, mobile phones, and personal items, as well as the wound film material. After a night in the Hotel the entire film team of Maduro was accompanied agents to the airport, put him on a plane and going to Miami to be flown. According to Ramos, he and his Team were also occupied with a travel ban.
image path: Trump is Ramos out
For Ramos to throw conflicts with power are not leaders. In 2015 he moved to the then presidential candidate Donald Trump on the body, the first out of the room to let him but then brought back and as “honest types” referred to: “Now I have him.”
After the incident in Venezuela, tweeted Ramos: “I would like to thank the U.S. State Department and the American Embassy in Caracas. They have ensured that we are protected in Venezuela, and were safe.” Whether Ramos is planning to report again soon from Venezuela, is not known.
