Juan Guaidó, the interim president of Venezuela, has generated great hope and great curiosity. The Venezuelan leader gave a revealing interview to Univision presenter Patricia Janiot for the premiere of his digital news program JANIOT: PM. “It has been a hit to have the interim president of Venezuela in scoop for JANIOT: PM. He is the character that global journalism wants to interview. Despite the great challenges and obstacles he faces, I saw him committed and calm in the face of the current situation and the proposed action plan. He is a young, fresh politician who renews the hopes of Venezuelans and a good part of the international community to regain democracy,”Janiot told People en Español.

Guaidó spoke about taking a step forward for a democratic Venezuela. “Coups d'état, and this regime knows this very well, are carried out by the military, carried out by the armed forces. We are defending the constitution, we are protecting the Venezuelan citizen to regain constitutional order. What we did yesterday was to embrace the constitution, assume the powers that it gives us precisely to achieve the cessation of usurpation before a dictatorship that Venezuela is experiencing today and achieve a transitional government."

His goal is to get the country out of the crisis and achieve free elections, says Guaidó. Do you fear for your life, have you received threats? “Yes, it is not something new. We have heard threats from what they call the 'supreme court of justice', we heard yesterday whoever usurps Miraflores today, but this is not new in Venezuela. There we have the case of Leopoldo López,”he said, also naming other opponents. "There are more than 300 political prisoners, more than 1,000 exiled from Venezuela."

Protecting his people is his priority, adds Guaidó: "Today children die from hunger, today kidney patients die from failing to put a peritoneal dialysis bag, HIV patients who do not have retrovirals, childhood cancer patients who do not have the necessary medications So the priority is undoubtedly our people."

Guaidó sees the exit of Nicolás Maduro close by. We all feel today in Venezuela, and Venezuelans in the world also feel that way, that this is the beginning of the end without a doubt. And we want to look to the future with optimism and with a lot of hope,”he says.

On his new program, Janiot concluded to People en Español: “It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our audiences in a more direct way and to reach new audiences on our digital platforms. We will delve into relevant issues, which concern us, to better understand how to digest the information. It is a larger space than television news formats that will give us the opportunity to find more answers and explanations.”
