Good morning and welcome back to this special edition of FirstFT. Today I am joined by the FT’s Latin America editor Michael Stott, who has been covering the extraordinary events in Venezuela over the past few weeks and the broader region since 2019. Michael is moving to India soon to become the FT’s South Asia bureau chief and will be based in New Delhi. But before he leaves Rio de Janeiro he agreed to answer some questions and reflect on his time in the region.
Gordon Smith: Hello Michael and thanks for agreeing to answer my questions.
