Venezuela: Socialist Dictator Maduro Chooses Alleged Drug Kingpin to Run ‘Peace’ Council to Crush Dissent

by Christian K. Caruso, Breitbart:

CARACAS, Venezuela — Socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro announced the creation of a special national “peace” council and its subordinate citizen units on Wednesday evening that according to him will fight “violent plans” orchestrated by the “extreme right” against his regime.

Maduro, in a state media broadcast accompanied by high-ranking members of the socialist “revolution,” detailed that the regime’s new “Special Council for Peace” (CEPAZ) will be run by Diosdado Cabello, the vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and an alleged drug kingpin. Maduro credited Cabello with the idea and creation of the council.
