Chavez battling for life, says VP
Friday, March 01, 2013
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's vice-president said yesterday that Hugo Chavez is still fighting for his life.
Nicolas Maduro, Chavez's self-appointed successor, said on television that his boss "is battling there for his health, for his life, and we're accompanying him".

The vice-president had characterised Chavez's condition similarly on December 20, saying the president "is fighting a great battle... for his life, for his health".
Chavez hasn't spoken or been seen since before his fourth operation in Cuba, on December 11, for an unspecified cancer in the pelvic area.
The Government says he has been breathing with the help of a tracheal tube after surviving a serious respiratory infection. It says Chavez returned on February 18 and is at a military hospital in Caracas for continued treatment for "respiratory insufficiency".
In his televised remarks, Maduro called for Venezuelans to keep praying for Chavez and remain loyal to the committed socialist who has been their president for more than 19 years.
"Do you know why Comandante Chavez neglected his health and has been battling (cancer) for nearly two years?" he asked. "Because he completely surrendered body and soul, and forgot all his obligations to himself, in order to give himself to the homeland."
Chavez, 58, himself has previously acknowledged that he was neglecting his health in recent years, often staying up late and consuming cup after cup of coffee to remain alert.
The president has undergone surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments since June 2011, when he first announced his cancer diagnosis. He hasn't specified the type of cancer or the exact location in his pelvic region where his tumours have been removed.
On February 15, the Government released four photographs of Chavez lying in a bed in Cuba with his two daughters by his side. They were the only images of him published since early December.
Re-elected in October, Chavez was scheduled to have been sworn in on January 10. But the Supreme Court said the swearing-in could be delayed.

Chavez was sent home to die from cuba ,anyone familiar with hospice care read that.
They have done all they can do,his body is too weak for any more therapy, be it chemo or surgery.

"Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.
"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
