Venezuela’s General Gustavo Gonzalez stands during a national TV broadcast in Caracas in this March 9, 2015 picture provided by Miraflores Palace. Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro paraded the seven officials sanctioned by the U.S. government on national television on Monday, hailing them as “heroes” and appointing one of them as the new interior minister. The president named national intelligence head Gonzalez, whom Washington accuses of complicity in violence against anti-government protesters, as new interior minister. It was not immediately clear if Gonzalez would occupy both posts. REUTERS/Miraflores Palace/Handout via Reuters (VENEZUELA – Tags: POLITICS MILITARY HEADSHOT PROFILE)
