Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'll start with Mr. Di Martino.

I'd like to thank you for joining today. You sharing your personal experience after growing up in Venezuela under the Chávez and Maduro governments is interesting, and your perspective is quite welcome in this discussion.

Could I ask you to expand on your experiences prior to leaving in 2016?
