3rd World Liberation tyrant Hugo Chavez’s plan for re-election has been thrown into chaos. Chavez has announced that he has a new cancerous lesion. This has huge implications for his electoral prospects.
President Hugo Chavez’s revelation that his cancer may have returned has plunged Venezuelainto a period of deep uncertainty as it ramps up for what many expect to be the most closely contested presidential elections in years.
Less than 24 hours after Chavez disclosed that doctors have found a new lesion that is likely cancerous in the same area where a malignant tumor was removed last year, what-next scenarios have begun to proliferate in the local media and among analysts.
Chavez could still tap a successor to run in his place, the October 27 elections could be delayed, or he could just muddle through with a campaign message that shifts attention from the state of his health to the legacy of his Bolivarian revolution.
But underlying the speculation are deeper fears of the unpredictable consequences of a vacuum of power in a country that has been dominated by Chavez, 57, since he came to power in 1999.
I don’t wish cancer on any one but I have little sympathy for Hugo Chavez. This is karma for the destruction his regime has done to Venezuela.
Here’s Hugo Chavez hosting a break-dance competition.
