a chorus one of the hobbit a good a good us who is in bogota. though has got international and regional support including from bogota now he's got a hero's welcome by his supporters how important is this protest action for why they'll well and retired it's extremely important and it's not going to be the only one by the way in the words of one way or we already heard that he is planning another mass protest action for saturday and he needs to show strength right now he left the country for over a week in a situation that is desperate and uncertain for many and let's not forget that we have seen many of position leaders in venezuela come and go who could not achieve a change in the government and that is a fear that many have that one could also not really succeed in his mission that is why he needs to come to venezuela he needed to come he needed to show strength and tell its people i'm here i'm your president we're not going to give up and you
