"Today Venezuela is going through something iconic, something historical," Valderrama said.
Valderrama said it's a moment of hope. The 35-year-old president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaydo, became interim president despite Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's opposition. While the United States supported Guaydo, Russia criticized President Donald Trump.
Valderrama praised the anti-government protesters who were marching under the threat of the National Guard and Maduro's armed supporters.
"I am very proud because we have endured so much," Valderrama said.
