FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Afterward, he stepped onto a stage and energetically sang along with a band to
a traditional tune from the rural plains where he was born. Chavez laughed
and danced briefly on stage.
He was accompanied by relatives including his brother Adan and two daughters.
Adela Blanco, who works at a government food processing company, said she
thinks Chavez has been looking better lately despite his illness. “He
has to rest. He has to recover in order to continue on,” she said.
Chavez’s rival, Henrique Capriles, led a huge crowd of supporters Sunday as he
registered his candidacy, working up a sweat by marching and jogging 6 miles
from a park in eastern Caracas to the headquarters of the National Electoral
Council.
Some Venezuelan analysts have said they expect Chavez’s illness could be a
point against him in the presidential campaign, especially if his condition
limits his mobility and strength. Despite his illness, though, Chavez’s
approval ratings have remained above 50 per cent during the past year, and
recent polls put him in the lead the over Capriles.
Luis Vicente Leon, who heads the Venezuelan polling firm Datanalisis, said
Chavez has managed his illness in a way that has allowed him to benefit
politically so far while also avoiding having the bulk of the Venezuelan
population “believe it’s a deadly illness that will impede Chavez’s
future.”
As the vote nears, though, Chavez will likely have to adjust his strategy to
show he is well enough to campaign in order to avoid potential fallout, Leon
said.
Chavez said Saturday that he has undergone tests following his cancer
treatment and everything came out well.
The president returned from Cuba on May 11 after what he said was a difficult
round of radiation therapy.
In the past year, Chavez has undergone two surgeries that removed tumours from
his pelvic region, most recently in February. During Chavez’s year-long
cancer struggle, he has not disclosed key details about his illness
including the type of cancer or the precise location of the tumours.
Both during and after his cancer treatments, Chavez has appeared in public
less frequently than he used to, a dramatic shift for a leader who for much
of his 13-year-old presidency has kept a busy schedule of televised talks
and rallies.
While Chavez has taken a lower profile, his government has stepped up
advertising that promotes his image and programs such as public housing
construction. Some of Chavez’s Cabinet ministers have taken to wearing
T-shirts emblazoned with a simple image showing only Chavez’s eyes.
