"For me, it was like, 'Wow, now you're suffering. Now, this is karma.' I was very glad. It's not vengeance; it's justice."
"Pereira, who was born and raised in Venezuela, was the only one of the six prisoners who wasn't an American citizen."
"His decades of insight into the inner workings of Venezuela politics and its oil sector are why he's confident his home country can only thrive again politically and economically following the U.S. military intervention."
"Venezuela cannot grow and oil companies will not want to invest if interim president Delcy Rodriguez -Maduro's former vice president-remains in charge with the rest of the old Maduro regime."
Pereira, a former CEO of Citgo Petroleum, was imprisoned in Venezuela as part of the 'Citgo Six' for five years. He views his release as justice rather than vengeance. Born in Venezuela, he has extensive experience in the oil sector and believes that the country can only recover politically and economically through U.S. military intervention and the establishment of fair democratic elections. He argues that investment from oil companies is unlikely under the current Maduro regime.
