I wish I knew how to get gigs like that. I guess I haven't engaged in enough cronyism.
Carlos Lanz is a Chavez crony who has been appointed head of Alcasa, the aluminum provider for Venezeula. His main background was in guerilla tactics, kidnapping and the like. There are other appointments similar to that.
Chavez is an avowed socialist and sees conservative capitalists as the enemy, so, yeah, the current administration is not going to be his fan club by any means.
