Hugo Chavez a leftist leader who invited cocahamas to Venezuela. Chavez wrecked the economy and drove out many of the educated workforce. I know, I work with them here in the US and they mourn what has become of their nation. Contrary to the idea that this is a socialist paradise, he's pillaged the business sector to fund his poverty programs. The country is in the process of collapsing.

He won't live to see the last gasps of the economy, but hopefully the next regime tries to actually build something.
 
Venezuela's government reacted with fury on Friday to U.S. President Barack Obama's criticism of ailing Hugo Chavez's "authoritarian" government at a time of national anxiety over his battle to recover from cancer surgery.

In an interview with U.S. network Univision, Obama declined to speculate on the 58-year-old socialist president's health in Cuba, where he is in a delicate state after his fourth operation since mid-2011 for cancer in his pelvic region.

But he did say U.S. policy was aimed at ensuring "freedom" in Venezuela. "The most important thing is to remember that the future of Venezuela should be in the hands of the Venezuelan people. We've seen from Chavez in the past authoritarian policies, suppression of dissent," Obama said.

Those remarks went down badly with officials in Caracas where emotions are running high over the future of Chavez and his self-styled revolution in the South American OPEC nation.

[h=4][/h][h=1]Chavez Condition More Stable - Vice President[/h] Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez underwent three operations for cancer and four courses of chemotherapy



MEXICO, December 23 (RIA Novosit) - The health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been stabilizing in recent days as he recuperates at a clinic in Havana from a fourth operation to remove cancerous tissue, the Venezuelan vice president said on Saturday.

Vice-President and Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro, whom Chavez named as his possible successor before the operation, said the president “continues his post-operation recovery and his health stabilizes with each day that passes.”
Venezuelan Minister of Information and Communication Ernesto Villegas earlier said Chavez suffered bleeding during the operation, but it was immediately staunched. Later, the president was diagnosed with respiratory infection, frequent in patients who are recovering from serious operations, but it was contained.

Chavez, 58, who has ruled Venezuela for 13 years, underwent three operations for cancer and four courses of chemotherapy in Cuba and Venezuela within a year. He agreed to the fourth surgery after recent tests had revealed malignant cells.

His fourth operation that lasted more than six hours took place on December 11. He is scheduled to be inaugurated to a new six-year presidential term on January 10, 2013.
Venezuela National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello said on Saturday early elections won’t be announced if Chavez isn't sworn in as scheduled.

“Forget about January 10,” he said on state TV. “Read the articles of the [constitution] properly and come back to earth.”
Under the 1999 constitution, a National Assembly President can assume interim presidential duties only due to an “absolute” reason, like a president’s death or permanent total disability. An early election date is to be announced within 30 days.

One of the president’s daughters, Maria Gabriela Chavez demanded to halt media "lies" about her father's health condition in a Twitter message on Friday.
 
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has suffered "new complications" after a cancer operation in Cuba, his vice-president has said.
In a televised address from Cuba, Nicolas Maduro said Mr Chavez continued to be in a "delicate state".
Mr Chavez underwent his fourth cancer operation on 11 December in Cuba but suffered a respiratory infection.
The president - who has been in power since 1999 - won another term in October's election.
Mr Maduro did not give details about Mr Chavez's condition but said the latest complications were connected to the respiratory infection.
"We have been informed of new complications that arose as a consequence of the respiratory infection we already knew about," he said.
"The state of health of President Chavez continues to be delicate."
He added that the treatment was "not without risk."
Mr Maduro, appearing solemn, spoke alongside Mr Chavez's eldest daughter, Rosa, his son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, and Venezuelan Attorney General Cilia Flores.
The vice-president said he would remain in Havana "for the coming hours" but did not specify how long.
Under Venezuela's constitution, Mr Chavez is due to be sworn in for his new term on 10 January.
National Assembly head Diosdado Cabello recently said that the ceremony would be delayed in the case of Mr Chavez's absence.
However, opposition leaders say postponing the inauguration would be unconstitutional.
The constitution states that if there is an "absolute absence" of the president, elections must be held within 30 days.
Mr Chavez has said that, should his health fail, Venezuelans should vote for Mr Maduro in fresh elections.
Officials have never disclosed the type or severity of Mr Chavez's cancer, which was first diagnosed in June 2011.
 
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is in stable but still delicate condition more than three weeks after a cancer surgery in Cuba, his son-in-law said on Wednesday.

"The medical team told us President Chavez's condition continues to be stable, but delicate," Jorge Arreaza, who is also Venezuela's minister of science and technology, said on Twitter.

On the same day, Bolivian President Evo Morales said Chavez's condition was "very worrying," after talking with his relatives.

"The situation of our brother President Chavez is very worrying. Hopefully we can see him soon, accompany him, but it is a very worrying situation," Morales told reporters in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba.

Earlier on Sunday, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, who visited Chavez twice on a three-day trip to Cuba, said new complications from a respiratory infection had put the president in a delicate state. But he offered scant details on the complications.

He stressed later on Tuesday that Chavez is fully aware of the complexity of his condition.

The Venezuelan president, who has been fighting an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer since June 2011, underwent a fourth round of surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11. He is scheduled to be sworn in to a third six-year term on Jan. 10.

The president was "totally conscious of the complexity of his post-operative condition" and faced the illness with courage and dignity, Maduro, whom Chavez last month designated as his heir, said in a televised interview in Cuba.

"Sometimes he has had light improvements, sometimes stationary situations," Maduro said.

The ailing leader demanded that "we should keep people informed, always with the truth, no matter how hard it might be in a certain circumstance," Maduro added.

He called on Venezuelans to ignore the rumors about Chavez's health, saying they were being spread due to "the evil and the hatred of the enemies of Venezuela."

In his New Year greeting to Venezuelans delivered by Maduro, Chavez said he wished 2013 would be a year for "the consolidation of the nation and national unity."

In a phone call to Maduro on Chrismas Day, Chavez appeared well on track of recuperating from the surgery. He was able to walk about and do some exercises as part of his recovery program, and instructed on issues of Venezuela's economy, social programs and the national program, according to Maduro.

Ernesto Villegas, Venezuela's communication and information minister, said before Christmas that Chavez had shown "slight improvement" in his recovery with "a progressive tendency."

Venezuela VP: Chavez can delay oath and stay in power

Nicolas Maduro referred to a copy of the constitution during his TV appearance

The Venezuelan government has said President Hugo Chavez can begin his new six-year term in office on Thursday, even if he is too ill to attend a swearing-in ceremony.

Vice-President Nicolas Maduro said the Supreme Court could swear in Mr Chavez at a later date.

He dismissed opposition calls for new elections should Mr Chavez not attend.
President Chavez is in Cuba struggling to recover from his latest round of surgery to treat cancer.

He has not been seen in public since the operation more than three weeks ago.

'Don't mess'

Observers have different interpretations of what it would mean if Mr Chavez misses his inauguration on Thursday.

Some in the opposition have said that if Mr Chavez is still in Cuba, power should pass to the head of the national assembly, and new elections should be held within 30 days.

But Mr Maduro said Thursday was not a fixed deadline, and that there was no reason to declare Mr Chavez's "absolute absence" from office.

"The formality of his swearing-in can be resolved in the Supreme Court," he said.

"The president right now is president," he said, waving a pocket-sized copy of the constitution.

"Don't mess with the people. Respect democracy."

The head of the main opposition coalition, Ramon Guillermo Aveledo, said the government "doesn't want to admit that the president is absent".

"The official version of what is happening is unsustainable," he told reporters.
Officials have said that Mr Chavez, 58, has suffered from complications brought on by a severe lung infection that developed after his latest surgery.

Mr Maduro said the president had "a right to rest and tranquillity, and to recuperate".

"We will have the commander well again."

'Unified'

Mr Maduro and National Assembly Head Diosdado Cabello visited Mr Chavez in Cuba earlier in the week, along with several other dignitaries.

The vice-president said President Chavez was "conscious" and had gripped his hand firmly as they discussed Venezuelan politics.

He and Mr Cabello dismissed rumours of a split in the governing socialist movement, after their return from Cuba.

"We're more unified than ever," said Mr Maduro, who Mr Chavez recently named as his preferred successor.

"We swore in front of Commander Chavez that we'll be united at the side of our people," he said.

The National Assembly is due to meet on Saturday to elect its leadership, with Mr Cabello expected to be re-elected.
He has appealed to supporters of Mr Chavez to rally outside parliament during the session.

"If the opposition thinks it will find a space in the National Assembly to conspire against the people, it's mistaken once again," Mr Cabello said on Twitter. "It will be defeated."

Mr Chavez was re-elected to a fourth term as president in October.

BBC News - Venezuela VP: Chavez can delay oath and stay in power
 
Venezuela's National Assembly is beginning its new session as the health of President Hugo Chavez casts doubt over his inauguration on Thursday.
Current leader Diosdado Cabello is due to be re-elected head of the assembly - dominated by Mr Chavez's supporters.
The president is in Cuba struggling to recover from his latest round of surgery to treat cancer.
Opposition leaders are calling for new elections if he cannot be sworn in for his new six-year term on Thursday.
But Vice-President Nicolas Maduro has said the Supreme Court can swear in Mr Chavez at a later date.
The BBC's Sarah Grainger in Caracas says the normally routine opening of the National Assembly has been given added significance because of Mr Chavez's absence.
Under the constitution, the head of the assembly must lead the country if new elections are called.
Analysts say Mr Cabello is seen as a political rival to Mr Maduro, whom Mr Chavez has named as his preferred successor.
Venezuelan constitution


  • Article 231: The president-elect shall take office on January 10 of the first year of their constitutional term, by taking an oath before the National Assembly. If for any reason, (they) cannot be sworn in before the National Assembly, they shall take the oath of office before the Supreme Court.
  • Article 233:(...) When an elected President becomes absolutely absent prior to inauguration, a new election...shall be held within 30 days.
  • Article 234: When the President is temporarily unable to serve, they shall be replaced by the Executive Vice-President for a period of up to 90 days, which may be extended by resolution of the National Assembly for an additional 90 days.

However, both men have vowed to maintain unity in the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
Both visited Mr Chavez in Cuba earlier in the week, along with several other dignitaries.
Hundreds of Chavez supporters responded to an appeal by Mr Cabello to rally outside parliament on Saturday.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas, who was among the first government officials to arrive for the vote, said: "There is a clear leadership here by Comandante Chavez who is so responsible that he has even studied the worst case scenarios.
"We have a president who has been elected from 2013 to 2019... and that will be perfectly fulfilled. Chavez is the president of Venezuela. There is no other."
