Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arrived in Caracas yesterday following surgery in Cuba to remove a second cancerous tumor from his pelvic area.
Dressed in a black sports jacket over a red polo neck shirt, Chavez descended from the plane flanked by his mother and two eldest daughters to be greeted by ministers on the tarmac. During a 30-minute speech he said he’d followed events in Venezuela closely from Cuba and felt reinvigorated, while revealing little about his operation or plans to receive radiotherapy.
