Venezuela's opposition demands "whole truth" about Chavez health [View all]

Venezuela's opposition on Wednesday demanded the government tell "the whole truth" about the health of cancer-stricken President Hugo Chavez, who has not been heard from in three weeks after undergoing a grueling operation in Cuba.

Officials have acknowledged the usually garrulous former soldier's health is delicate after his fourth cancer surgery in 18 months, but they have offered scant details on his condition.

He has not spoken in public in more than three weeks.

Ramon Aveledo, head of the opposition Democratic Unity coalition, slammed the government for not keeping its word about keeping Venezuelans informed.

Interesting that the article mentions Diosdado Cabello and the upcoming legislation election. Could be an interesting face-off with Maduro on who will lead the post-Hugo revolution.
