Chavez body to go on permanent display

[MADem]

70. I don't think most people are snickering--they're appalled at his corpse being turned into

Roy Rogers' Trigger of the Bolivarian Cause.

They should respect the guy's last wishes--they could encase his coffin in concrete if they were afraid his corpse might be stolen.

Also, that poorly written (is it a translation?) article says he died a MONTH ago--which can't be right, since they're talking about making a decision to disconnect him more than two weeks after this article says they did, and unless those proof of life photos with Granma photoshopped the current issue of the newspaper into the picture.

“Since February 22, disconnecting the patient from the mechanical respiratory assistance was considered given the worsening of his condition and ever so precarious health. There were divergences between Chavez mother and his daughters, overwhelmed by the long suffering of their father and a year and a half via crucis of medical treatments and campaigning. After meetings with (Vice-president Nicolas) Maduro and (the president of the National Assembly Diosdado) Cabello they decided to disconnect him February 5”, said Bocaranda.
Once the decision was taken by the most intimate presidential circle, “at 15:05 the respiratory aid was eliminated so that Chavez could die in peace at 16:25 in his bed at the Military Hospital”.

I wonder--did he participate in the decision? Was he even able to participate in the decision? What is "the most intimate Presidential circle?" Maduro and Cabello pull the plug? Was he comatose?

So many questions, so few answers. And so many lies over the past two years.

If there is any accuracy in this version of his disease progression, the people who were saying that he had a sarcoma that had invaded his bones, lungs, etc. and was, in essence, inoperable, were not lying.
