Fish Don’t Walk in Venezuela

As the conductor of the Univision News, Ramos has covered five wars (El Salvador, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq), and numerous historical events.
The terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of apartheid in South Africa and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Ibero-American summits, guerrilla movements in Chiapas and Central America and elections on almost the entire continent. Ramos has participated in several presidential debates.
Ramos has interviewed some of the most influential leaders in the world. Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin, Harry Reid, John McCain, John Edwards, Al Gore, George Bush Sr., John Kerry, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, Felipe Calderon and dozens of Latin American presidents.
