HAVANA, Cuba, Friday February 24, 2012 – Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez is
expected to travel to Cuba this afternoon to undergo surgery early next week.
According to reports it is expected that president will undergo surgery either
Monday or Tuesday in the same area where he had a carcinogenic tumor removed in
June.
Chavez said that he will start preparations for the surgery this weekend, and
would likely be in Cuba for a couple of days.
However, the president gave the assurance that during his absence he will remain
in constant contact with his Cabinet, noting that he was travelling with a
commando group made up by his closet team of collaborators, including Minister
of Presidency, Erika Farias.
Permission for Chavez to travel was approved yesterday. Click here to receive
