Coming remotely from Caracas, Venezuela, this week Latin Pulse focuses on the prospects for the government of President Nicolas Maduro and issues of free speech in the country. The program features the views of a Venezuelan journalist and a political expert. The discussion ranges from government pressure on the media to the differing political currents in post-Chavez Venezuela and what lies ahead for the politically polarized country. The program also includes discussion of corruption in Venezuela. The news segment of the program covers the passage of major educational reforms in Mexico.
The program includes in-depth interviews with:
Jesus Alberto Yajure of Cadena Capriles; and
Alejandro Velasco of New York University.
