to argentina or peru or chile -- by and lge been this way not. since the s second world w r has only had. two crewews hd been successful and a a lotf failed attempts. relatively stronong relationshipetetween t the and the presidencncy -- is one of the rereasons behihind thisis and is very much in e case for most all of which i wawas for the s. and later models. are finding power -- what is changed o over the last few days reaeally -- starting o on jananuary tenh when a little was ininaugurated aftfter e eles which w were largely consididered t to have been fraudulent aininge national- there with ththe pererson withthdrawing a all let's cl it internatitional recognitn of my doodles legegitimate leleadership -- and then this new recocognitioion of all thos- interim presidency basicicay arare makes out a little bit more explicit -- what happens now iss i i was

pointed out in thee in thehe report -- is largely contingenent onnw the armed forces react and it's important to keep in mind that the armed forces are not monolithic invest well. i think that the chain of command has been severely undermined in broken -- all over eight the last twenty years under the current regime -- which is been something that has really been able. to protect a ac suggestion ababout for themm t to on te military [inaudiblbl so where we gorom here iss essentially mother would always in a very difficult position having to decide. how hard to crack down on what is a very very strongly worded -- and cyril a attackn his legigitimacy from m inside e coununtry obvbviously very careful what he ordered the military to do b because tht day for thehe moment he ordered something. bill terry either refuses to

or fails to comply. lastly probably going to be off so we wait to see how the military reacts that's one of the important things as you pointed out. handles you pointed out tha- maduro is up president but say he's a presidency is disputed because of the results of the election back in may -- declared the illegitimate by in many of his -- critics many of them of course looking at this from abroad -- donald trump's words of course -- will carry some weight even though mature of course regards him as a sworn enemy [inaudible] that's true. the united states is positioned in not this sort of discussion is a little bit tricky because historically. a very large shadow over mamany of the smaller countries in its its region or sort of the the t the the classical monroe doctctrine backyard. real spear had of and i'm a little something in. or donald trump actually

came from your religion american state - -- whwhich because i thihink -- by design attempted t to kep the ununited statetes a lite bit of f arms lack. this changnges witith the sd in which donald t trump's admininistration are recognized -- a whihite will askk. presidenent -- so that's something that we make it easisier for modode- to kill hisis own people. this is a boring plot. to undermine the people's revolution about the same time it is very isolated -- when naruto was giving his speech and he was listing his friends -- it was. listed turkey -- which is a very new friends of the relationshipp between now. and model has realllly only been a getting c closer for ababout the last year russia and he also listed. i'll. thank you but naturally are

very isolated window toward initially allowed which up until three years ago. four years ago really heleld swad by at s sort of caribbeaean sasatellite states -- decided it's now bececome. i i and whahat the ramamifis of those will be -- remainins uncertain are onef the mainin threats to momodl now his reaction. it's not just whether the mimilitary comomplies but iu for example tries too imimprison while -- which b briefly seemed l lit was hapappening on n january thirteenth -- ob doctor away and s set itt all been a misundederstandig or if t the nationanal assey which swswore why the end i- dissolves don would almost certainly p precipitate much stronger international sanctions potentially even in bargo- which would make it very very difficult -- model of the state our hour. can he remain in power doeos

he havave the kind of suppot that he says he has we saw him speaking there was a large crowd. but obviously we know that crowds can be manipulated in terms of television terms doesn't your have the support to stay in powower. so. gun to my head right now -- don't sasay that. itit would be difficultt ine over therere hold - - wiwithout the some sort of largrge misstep right said e has very little room for ererror and will. follows him is going to most likely be some kind of coalition government over the last twenty years the largest oil windfall in the country's history has disappeared leaving no money in the international reserves. are there has done this well has gone from being one of the most stable -- wealthy countries in the region to having its highest murder r rates ought to beig vevery chaotic and wallace d actually having a mass exexodus of them as wellll s for the first time really in the country's history. right is to overwhelm the neighbors living standards of falling precipitously

when there is a change in government a lot -- investigations -- are are are going to be done as to what happened to all that money whatt happened where didid all those abuses comeme. so models greatest ally right now actually is impunity hides the fact that the military has to gauge -- or members of the military have to gauge if we overthrow model and are investigated what c could happppen to us afterwawardsm mumuggles allies that are still with him are largely banking on avoiding. an eventual come up and see if the government a are when the government ultimatately falls. what that looks like -- remains in question so it's very possible that you maybe a more moderate -- one who would take charge you need to give the national assembly a little bit more power i'll because it is essentially goioing to dedebate society in terms of what i canan get done. alll over the last two years since.

twenty seveventeen you would have since you're collision you could have a military. also when we think about a post my little world it's not you're really what that looks like -- and i think that there is some sense. business idea -- among them so in opposition and and and and potentially the markets as well. thatat what follows my wills a very shortrt sharp transition. to a more lopez's president -- white doll -- or anybody get uppity this remember in a mock trial or in opposition figure it. out would be seen as better- by the international community we are now and what would get benefits will not to that point. right now the localization lined up ready to go and sleep in and make things happen daniel i need to cut you off that i'm really sorry -- but our* will continue down you'll lands there were three guests of north west university and cream. columnist of el nacional thank you sir incredibly interesting what you saying of course waited to see how things develop but in
