In this February 6, 2019 photo, the wife of a soldier who was part of the group that attacked the presidential palace in a failed 1992 military coup organized by the late Hugo Chavez, checks her hair minutes before the start of the weekly, live TV program coined: “Con el Mazo Dando”, or “Hitting it With a Sledgehammer”, inside an aviation academy in Maracay, Venezuela. For government supporters attending the program, the enthusiasm for the show's host Diosdado Cabello, who the U.S. and European Union have sanctioned for human rights abuses and corruption, bordered on Elvis Presley-like idolatry.
