[QUOTE](CNN) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who is recovering from cancer surgery, has suffered "new complications," Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Sunday.
"President Chavez's state of health continues to be delicate, with complications that are being treated in a process that is not without risks," he said.
Maduro spoke in Havana, Cuba, where Chavez is undergoing treatment. He said he met with Chavez, who has not been seen in public or heard from for weeks.
"Thanks to his physical and spiritual strength, Comandante Chavez is confronting this difficult situation," Maduro said.
[B]Venezuelan leader's long cancer fight[/B]
The Venezuelan president first announced he was battling cancer in June 2011.
Chavez, 58, has not disclosed what type of cancer he has, and the Venezuelan government has released few details about his illness, fueling widespread speculation about his health and political future.
Last year, Chavez had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and has undergone further surgery and radiation in Cuba since. He returned to the island nation this month to undergo another surgery after publicly revealing that his cancer had returned.
He underwent a six-hour surgical procedure on December 11 that Maduro, in a televised address, declared a success.
A week after the president's surgery, the Venezuelan information minster said Chavez was battling a respiratory infection. Minister Ernesto Villegas said then that the infection was under control.
Recently both Villegas and Maduro have struck a somber tone when discussing the president's illness in contrast to previous government messages about his health. Villegas has suggested Chavez might not be not be back in Venezuela in time for his inauguration scheduled for next month.
Chavez addressed the delicate nature of his health before leaving Venezuela for Cuba. He said that if his health were to worsen, Maduro should replace him as president, making it the first time Chavez had spoken about a possible successor.[/QUOTE]

Let's all pray for our dear venezuelan leader
Also, he's supposed to be sworn as president (for the 4th time now) on January 11th (I think). If he doesn't make it in time, the president of the assembly will take over and will be forced to call elections in no less than 30 days.
I remember last time we had a thread on Chavez a bunch of FPers talked about how the US had tried to paint him as an evil guy
and then the actual venezuelan FPers came in and were not pleased at all

Can a poor uneducated Canadian soul get educated on this somehow? The US is painting him as a bad guy and the Venezuelan FPers get mad? Because he IS a bad guy? Or is he good and they're mad at the US or what?
To be honest, I'm really surprised he's made it this long with the specific form of cancer he has.

the way I remember them putting it, elections were pretty obviously rigged and shitloads and shitloads of people were so furious they were planning on moving out of the country
there were a couple of american fpers that insisted that the venezuelans had no idea what they were talking about

lolno, elections were not rigged. Chavez has plenty of support in Venezuela and the whole process was very very clean. Those calling rigged elections are just idiots. We dislike Chavez because he's a terrible 'leader', a poor strategist, administrator, very impulsive and temperamental. He's taken the country from the hole and pushed it further into the shithole. Plus crime and corruption are rampant.

the only reason he's supported is because he uses a populist strategy and often gives -some- little benefits to the poor class (the majority) that they didn't have before in other governments. Still, a bag of food does not justify the terrible things he's done to the country.
Poor guy, he was the best rapper of them all.

He is not giving benefits to the poor class. Otherwise, that people would be progressing on the social scale. He is making them dependant. And, of course, blaming everything on a US-Jew/capitalist/imperialist conspiracy. Uneducated masses are extremely easy to fool.
