Venezuela’s illegitimate dictator Nicolás Maduro abruptly cut short an interview with Univision News after a journalist showed him footage of the nation’s youth eating food from a garbage truck—infuriating Maduro who “just couldn’t stand it.”

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos explained in detail the brief detainment he experienced in video footage posted on the network’s website on Feb. 26. He said Maduro’s personnel took him and producer Maria Guzman into a security room and asked for their cellphones—which Ramos said he didn’t want to hand over.
