De Lima is Out of Cadena Capriles. (Owner Still In Closet)

No word on who is to replace him. And no word yet on who is to decide who is to replace him, either.
Because, let’s not forget: even though Venezuela has clear laws on who can and who can’t own a publishing business, the identity of the person/people who bought Cadena Capriles has never been disclosed. Amazingly, it hasn’t leaked reliably, either.
We just don’t know.
