Ex-ZDF-Moderator Achim Winter spricht mit mir im unabhängigen Netz-Sender „Kontrafunk“ über die kritische Lage im südamerikanischen Venezuela, Hintergründe der amerikanischen Militär-Aktion und was viele über das extrem rohstoffreiche Land noch nie gehört haben. 👉https://kontrafunk.radio/de/sendung-nachhoeren/politik-und-zeitgeschehen/18-20/18-20-live-2026-01-06#clip5 ( E N G . ) - ( "Kontrafunk" is an independent German-Swiss internet radio station that takes a critical stance towards the mainstream media. Here, I can speak openly about the situation in South American Venezuela - a country which I know from my time living and working there as a journalist 2017 to 2019; finally even spending four months in political detention. I would like to point out that there is a powerful deep state operating on-site, which continues to function independently of the captured President Maduro. Prosperity and economic stability which once existed under the right-wing dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez will not return in the near future. Despite having one of the largest - or perhaps the largest - raw material deposits in the world. )
