Chavez to return soon to Venezuela after more cancer treatment | President Hugo Chavez says he will soon return to Venezuela after undergoing more
cancer treatment in Cuba to campaign for a third term in office. Chavez, who spoke
late Monday to Venezuelan state TV in a brief phone call, has made no public appearances
or comments since he left for Cuba on April 30 for a fifth round of cancer treatment.
Chavez said he is now near the end of radiation treatment and will return home
in a few days. The president criticized his opposition during the phone call,
saying it doesn't have any qualified candidates to run against him and is disorganized
and has no campaign plan. With five months remaining before the Oct. 7 election,
Chavez compared doing the preparation work to baseball. He said it is important
now to improve his organization and gain the ability to lead one inning after
another. He also urged his supporters to fight back against what he termed "U.S.-backed
sabotage moves carried out by the opposition." Chavez had a cancerous tumor removed
from his pelvic area in June 2011. He underwent additional surgery in February
after the cancer returned and has since made several more trips to Cuba for treatment.
