Is there a way out of Venezuela鈥檚 protracted agony?

Is there a way out of Venezuela鈥檚 protracted agony? Stephen Sackur speaks to Juan Andres Mejia, Deputy of Venezuela鈥檚 Voluntad Popular party. For millions of Venezuelans every day is a struggle for survival. This is an oil rich country where the shops are empty, the power is out and healthcare is collapsing. And politics offers little hope of salvation. The Maduro Government is clinging to the trappings of power while the country鈥檚 other self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido leads mass protests against him. Juan Andres Mejia is one of Guaido鈥檚 key allies in the Venezuelan parliament. Is there a way out of Venezuela鈥檚 protracted agony?
