CARACAS - U.S. television network Univision said on Monday Venezuela was deporting a news team led by anchor Jorge Ramos after they were briefly detained at the presidential palace because their line of questioning upset President Nicolas Maduro.
Venezuela’s socialist government has long had a tense relationship with Western media, which it largely considers hostile and in league with “imperialist” interests. At least seven foreign journalists who flew in to cover the turmoil were briefly detained in January. “They confiscated all our equipment,” Ramos told Univision in an interview. “They have the interview”.
