VENEZUELA | Operated cancer in Cuba 'War' of rumors and mixed messages about the health of Chavez


Doubts about the health of Hugo Chavez have caused a wave of rumors in recent days. The uncertainty surrounding the Venezuelan president, and the secrecy that reigns in Havana, have become especially social network Twitter in a cauldron of mixed messages. Chavez opponents for days portend fatal disease for president, hospitalized for days in a hospital in Havana. The government, meanwhile, accused the opposition and the media for spreading "rumors" and "lies" about Chavez. "The medical team explains that President Chavez's condition remains stable within its delicate box, "he said on Wednesday the Minister of Science and Chavez's son, Jorge Arreaza, accompanying President for several days in Cuba. Earlier, sources of anti-Chavez Venezuelan exiles in Miami have revived talk of a situation "terminal" of ChavezIn an interview with Telesur , Vice President Nicolás Maduro, in office by the absence of Chavez also criticized the opposition on Monday saying that the "right" Venezuelan spreads malicious rumorsThis, in turn, blamed the "inadequate" government information speculation. "Secrecy is the source of the rumors that cause increased uncertainty and anxiety , "he said in a statement the opposition Democratic Unity Table. Given the few details offered by the government in Caracas, Twitter has become a hotbed of rumors, speculation and information wars. In the social network appeared multiple accounts these days attributed to both supporters and opponents of Chavez. "The VP Nicolas Maduro asked me to report that he has no Twitter account. care. alert . want to manipulate with fake accounts, "warned on Monday night Ernesto Villegas, Venezuela's Information Minister. "Fellow citizens, do not believe in malicious rumors," he added. The Venezuelan doctor José Rafael Marquina , based in Miami, said Wednesday meanwhile a fake account, created with his name and photograph on Twitter. Marquina takes days reporting alleged details and "not encouraging news" about the health of Chavez. The doctor, called a "quack" by detractors, also drew attention in October for spreading rumors about the alleged deterioration of the health of Fidel Castro , later denied by former Cuban president himself. The atmosphere of total secrecy in Havana fueling speculation. As usual,in Havana is not filtered detail whatsoever about treating Chavez, who has been on the island more than a dozen times since his cancer was detected in mid-2011.

Assumptions

In Havana assumes that Chavez is admitted to the Medical Surgical Research Center (CIMEQ) in the west of the capital, the better equipped hospital on the island. But this is only guesswork. Neither the government of Raul Castro and Caracas have never given official information. The Venezuelan gobieno has also never informed of what type of cancer you have Chavez, who is known only that it is located in the pelvic area. It appears also that silence and discretion of Havana is one of the causes that led to the Venezuelan leader to prefer the island for treatment. The hatred that generates Chavez critics, the secrecy about his illness, the secrecy of Cuba , the speed and wanting to give the exclusive nature of Twitter itself cause the president of Venezuela's state generates a coming and going of rumors and alleged information from anonymous sources. The leader of the opposition, Henrique Capriles, defeated by Chavez in October elections, called for restraint and calm . "Working together is easier to achieve, not fall on rumors or hatred, love our neighbor. should spend the energy to build not destroy , "Capriles said on his Twitter on Tuesday, a message far more conciliatory than that of the opponents of Miami. On December 11 Chavez underwent a fourth operation in Havana by the cancer being treated. the 10th president should be invested for the period 2013-2019. If not qualified, the Venezuelan Constitution provides for the opening of a new electoral process. So far, it seems that the uncertainty about the future of Chavez continue until that day.
