The words of Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro did not bring peace to Venezuelans. Amid rumors that the health of President Hugo Chávez is serious and less dramatic than other versions say that all obey a move marquetinera with electoral reasons, the sentence of the Bolivarian chief diplomat added even more uncertainty. It was when he said in yesterday morning that “the president battle for health.”
The mysterious illness of Chavez, a pelvic abscess operated in Havana on June 10 and an indefinite return to Venezuela, has generated speculation, a few silence suggestive that already has three weeks in a president known for his verbosity, and too much criticism since it governs from Havana as the country faces economic and social conflicts.
Before the official secrecy arise various scenarios, from simple surgery gastric abscess to the supposed existence of a cancer of the colon. We know that Chavez, who suffered a left knee injury, underwent emergency surgery at the Medical Surgical Research Center in Cuba.
His brother, Adán Chávez, the governor of Barinas, was the one who took care of this week to reassure his return from Havana. “I can attest to the health of President (…).
Within days, 10 or 12 days, the chairman of here. ”
The misinformation that exists about his illness and his return has increased the suspense. Vice President Elias Jaua said, however, that the country is in “excellent political and economic stability” but acknowledged that the only problem is the crisis facing the prison El Rodeo.
That criminal-with a population of 3,500 inmates, live for thirteen days, a riot that have failed to control 4,000 soldiers of the Army and National Guard. But also the country through various conflicts that have increased social unrest and high insecurity. Enrique Ochoa Antich analyst told Clarín that since 2007, homicides have increased 45%.
The budget deficit has prompted protests from various sectors such as doctors and university professors. To pay the civil service and social programs, the government has resorted to borrowing from PDVSA (Petroleos de Venezuela) to unprecedented levels, more than 20,000 million dollars. The electricity crisis with rationing, upload 200%, and power outages every other day generated a great discomfort.
The absence has lasted longer than expected. “If it was a simple abscess and would be back, which means that it is a very serious case,” said former director of the National Electoral Council, Eduardo Semtei, for whom all affect presidential popularity. But some believe that Chavez, in power for 12 years of isolation plays for not being linked to the current problems. And present it in the 2012 presidential as he sacrifices everything, including their health, the welfare of the Venezuelan people.
