In this video, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald sheds light on Washington’s hidden role in Venezuela’s political crisis. Why is the US government so heavily involved in this South American country – and what is really behind its call for “democracy”?
Greenwald examines how the US attempted to establish opposition leader Juan Guaidó as president despite his lack of democratic legitimacy – and what interests, alliances, and narratives play a role in this.
This video was produced by System Update and published on the Glenn Greenwald YouTube channel on the 16th of October, 2025.
