'Chavistas' flank Venezuela opposition with shadow governments

Venezuela's leftist government has created shadow governments in states led by the opposition, establishing special entities with money to spend ahead of next month's crucial, test-of-strength municipal elections, experts say.

Three government-funded corporations have popped up since March in states that elected opposition governors in December 2012.

Sanctioned by law, the state corporations have their own budgets for public works and in every case are led by the losing "Chavista" gubernatorial candidate.

For instance, in the populous state of Miranda, which includes part of Caracas and whose governor is opposition leader Henrique Capriles, Foreign Minister Elias Jaua heads "CorpoMiranda."

The little tyrant ignores election results. If anybody had any doubts about what's going on in Venezuela the events in the last six months leave no doubt. The regime is a militarized, corrupt, tyrannical national socialist (nazi) type regime. Maduro thinks he is a communist, but he is very uneducated. He's basically a Cuban puppet. And the Cubans are fascists.
