In reply to the discussion: Live Link to Nicolas Maduro's Inauguration [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)33. Nothing on the content of his Inaugral Speech
but this story is everywhere. Such content in the Anglo news lol.
As Maduro addressed the crowd inside the National Assembly building, a spectator rushed the stage and pushed him away from the microphone, startling millions watching on national television with a shout that sounded like "Nicolas, my name is Jenry!" before the intruder was tackled and dragged away.
The broadcast cut away, then returned to the lectern and Maduro, who continued his speech.
"He could have shot me here," Maduro said, dressing down his security detail before continuing with his address.

A video grab
As he began to speak, a man clad in red-the color of Venezuelas socialist revolution-rushed the podium and snatched the microphone from him, yelling out his name and asking for help.

But Mr Maduro was interrupted by a man who ran on stage and grabbed his microphone.
The incoming president responded by criticising his security.
"I could have been shot here," he told the audience.
Then as he regained his composure he added: "Incident overcome. I will try to speak to this man later."
The motives of the man, who wore a red jacket - the colour favoured by "Chavistas" - and only managed to say his name before being hustled away, were not immediately clear.

Right. "We need an international intervention. " "We're being repressed" " I had to sell my second condo" "We don't want them coming into our neighborhoods" "Israel and America come save us"
You know they're just itching to start yelling that they need a no-fly zone.

Yes, I know, it's difficult for me too, in particular because of the Venezuelan accent...
