Dr Natalia Sobrevilla-Perea, Reader in Hispanic Studies in the Department of Modern Languages, was interviewed for The Telegraph newspaper this week about the political events in Venezuala.
On Sunday, over 200,000 protesters marched in the capital Caracas, to mark 50 days of protesting against President Nicolas Maduro, as the country faces shortages of food and medicines.
