Hugo Chavez Venezuela President Dies of Cancer
After battling for the cancer sickness for two years, Hugo Chavez Venezuela president dies and it reported by the vice president of the country Nicolas Maduro
Hugo Chavez ruled for 14 years as the South American’s country president, and is supposed rule for the next 6 year according to the election in which he won in October. The flamboyant 58-year-old leader had undergone four operations in Cuba for a cancer that was first detected in his pelvic region in mid-2011. His last surgery was on December 11 and he had not been seen in public since.
“It’s a moment of deep pain,” Maduro, accompanied by senior ministers, said, his voice choking.
His death now gives chance for another election that will test whether his socialist “revolution” can live on without his dominant personality at the helm.
Take heart Venezuelans.
Chavez has run Venezuela for more than 14 years as a virtual one-man show, gradually placing all state institutions under his personal control. But the former army paratroop commander, who rose to fame by launching a failed 1992 coup, never groomed a successor with his same kind of force of personality. This is the worst thing that could have happened to that country, Without Chavez, I don’t know what will happen there.
