Four days before his wife's nephews were arrested, President Nicolas Maduro's government banned U.S.-based Latino network Telemundo's soap "Queen of the South" for "glorifying" the drug trade and harming family values.
But with Maduro's own family now dragged into a drug controversy, critics are having a field day poking fun at what they deem the socialist government's hypocritical moralizing.
First Lady Cilia Flores has been dubbed the 'Queen of the South' in a flood of internet memes that joke about the banned show morphing into a 'reality' show featuring the Miraflores presidential palace.
In one, the 62 year-old lawyer's face has been superimposed on a promotional photo showing glamorous Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, who plays the 'Queen of the South', sitting in a short black dress with her legs crossed.
