Venezuela’s all-powerful Constituent Assembly named Diosdado Cabello as its new head, following President Nicolas Maduro’s cabinet shuffle last week.
Cabello, second-in-command of Venezuela’s ruling United Socialist party, will take over for Delcy Rodriguez, who Maduro recently tapped as vice president. The Maduro-created Constituent Assembly rules over all other government bodies, and is deemed by the U.S. and its regional allies as an illegitimate institution packed with Maduro loyalists.
