So have they found Hugo Chavez yet?

[Melodybe]

Someone last night posted that he missed a speech, and we were all worried.

I just wanted to be told that it was a mistake and he is just fine.

Normality Reigns in Venezuela, Minister Assures

Caracas, May 30 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela´s Communication and Information Minister Andres Izarra assured Monday normality is reigning in the country and President Hugo is perfectly well and working on his agenda.

In telephone statements for Globovision, Izarra denied rumors questioning Chavez´ health after not attending a march in Caracas Saturday, and suspending his habitual Sunday program Alo Presidente.

Izarra said that once informed of the situation, the president asked him to contact those in Miraflores and say he was fine.

Chavez is "simply spending time with his family, as is the right of any human being. Nothing out of the ordinary is happening," the minister stated, noting those rumors probably came from sectors interested in destabilizing the population.

Venezuela Takes Measures to Thwart President Assassination

Caracas, May 30, Venezuelan opposition circles, cornered by the success of President Hugo Chavez´ political, social and economic development programs are plotting again to carry out anti-constitutional actions three years after a failed coup.

...

Lara said there are intelligence information revealing that some sectors, heartbroken by the defeat of the 2002 coup attempt and the presidential referendum in 2004, are mulling over the idea of assassinate President Chavez.

The Venezuelan official remarked that the government and security departments have taken measures to face an action of this nature.

Lara added that the opposition and transnational sectors are developing plans to destabilize Petroleos de Venezuelan (PDVSA) and undermine the economic and social achievements of the Bolivarian revolutionary government.
