All in the family
At an emotional memorial service for the three-month anniversary of Hugo Chávez’s death, we see, placing their hands on the hallowed grave of the Comandante Supremo, in no particular order: Hugo Chávez Senior, Chávez’s brother, Chávez’s “son” Nicolás Maduro, Maduro’s wife Cilia Flores, and … the chief of Venezuela’s supposedly impartial Electoral Body Tibisay Lucena! (She’s the one with the short hair and the inappropriate cleavage)
How touching.
Maybe she was there to make sure he was still registered to vote.
