In reply to the discussion: Venezuela's Chavez back on TV, squashes new rumour [View all]ChangoLoa
(2,010 posts)31. Bocaranda is the guy who announced Chavez had cancer 9 months ago
The rumor is actually about the supposed metastasis, right? The one started by the Brazilian journalist... not by Bocaranda.
I'll wait and see in order to judge if that part was incorrect. But watching the chavista high command here, I'm starting to think it may be true (not especially the metastasis but the projection of Chavez having less than a year to live). They started to talk about changing the elections' schedule, about the traitors within the PSUV who should be unmasked... all in all, it is quite clear there's a big fight inside chavismo right now.
