Henry Rangel Silva
[1] In 2008, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three current or former Venezuelan government officials, saying there was evidence they had materially helped the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the illegal drug trade.[2] Rangel, Hugo Carvajal, former director of Venezuela's military intelligence (DGIM); and Ramón Rodríguez Chacín, former Minister of the Interior, were sanctioned.[2] In November 2010, Rangel declared that the military forces are "married to the political, socialist project" led by Hugo Chávez in Venezuela.[5] In October 2012, Rangel Silva was chosen as the PSUV's candidate in Trujillo state after the then-current governor, Hugo Cabezas, announced he would not seek re-election.[8] Amazonas: Miguel Rodríguez Anzoátegui: Antonio Barreto Sira Apure: Ramón Carrizales Aragua: Daniela González Barinas: Argenis Chávez Bolívar: Justo Noguera Pietri Carabobo: Rafael Lacava Cojedes: Margaud Godoy Delta Amacuro: Lizeta Hernández Falcón: Víctor Clark Guárico: José Manuel Vásquez Lara: Adolfo Pereira Antique Mérida: Ramón Guevara Miranda: Héctor Rodríguez Monagas: Cosme Arzolay Nueva Esparta: Alfredo Díaz Portuguesa: Rafael Calles Sucre: Edwin Rojas Táchira: Laidy Gómez Trujillo: Henry Rangel Silva Vargas: José Manuel Suárez Yaracuy: Julio León Heredia Zulia: Omar Prieto Capital District: Jacqueline Faría (Head of Government) Territorio Insular Miranda: Félix Plasencia
