Since Maduro has been in power - since early 2013 - Venezuela has had five ministers of trade:
- Alejandro Fleming
- José Khan
- Dante Rivas
- Isabel Delgado and
- David Cabello, Diosdado Cabello's brother
Diosdado Cabello's wife is the minister of tourism, by the way.
The average term for a minister in today's Venezuela is less than a year. For this ministry the average is exactly six months. That is quite shocking considering the change comes from the same functionary, not from a newly constituted government. My estimate is that David is going to outlast the previous ministers, though: the top military coupsters of 1992 and their relatives tend to last longer at any ministry than the average.
Even Brazil is not sending official observers to Venezuela's elections in early December because there is no guarantee they would be able to do their work.
