Adán Chávez

In August 2006, Adán became Presidential Secretary, replacing Delcy Rodríguez, who reportedly disagreed with Hugo Chávez during his international tour.[citation needed] In 2008, he was elected as Governor of Barinas as the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) candidate, replacing his father Hugo de los Reyes Chávez.[3] On March 7, 2019, he was appointed Venezuelan ambassador to Cuba by President Nicolás Maduro and since February 14, 2023, he has been the Rector (academia) of the Universidad Nacional Experimental de los Llanos Ezequiel Zamora.[4] On 9 August 2017, the United States Department of the Treasury placed sanctions on Chávez for his position in the Presidential Commission in the 2017 Constituent Assembly of Venezuela.[5] On 3 November 2017, the Government of Canada sanctioned Chávez as being someone who participated in "significant acts of corruption or who have been involved in serious violations of human rights".
