The extraction of Nicolas Maduro was carried out by an elite group that, in the last two decades of the last century, gave Hollywood the pretext to create a Delta Force saga, with Chuck Norris and Lee Marvim. If one day someone decides to make a film about this operation in Venezuela, there will be a real story to serve as a script. Two weeks after everything happened, three journalists from Expresso (Christiana Martins, Luciana Leiderfarb, and Maria João Bourbon) report the events of that day and the days that preceded it, revealing the details of an operation that surprised the world for its effectiveness, but also for the spectacular way in which it all happened.
January 3rd, early morning in Caracas, the city suffers a blackout in the electrical system and internet network. On the same day, at the same time, sitting on a sofa in Washington, more than three thousand kilometers away, with a large screen in front of him, the most powerful man in the world watches live the extraction of the dictator who rules Venezuela with an iron fist. The script for a Netflix film that revives the Delta Force saga from the 80s and 90s of the last century could well start like this.
In this daily podcast, Paulo Baldaia talks to journalists from the Expresso newsroom, international correspondents and commentators. From Monday to Friday, analysis of the news that survives the froth of the days. Listen to other episodes here:
