Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he expects to soon have a fourth and final round of chemotherapy for cancer.

Speaking to state TV, Mr Chavez said if tests then showed no more malignant cells, he would move to his next stage of recovery, including more exercise.

He said he would be well enough to host a regional summit on 2 December.

And he insisted he would be running for re-election next year, campaigning "at a rhythm set by circumstances".

Mr Chavez said he would be making use of the technology and resources not available in 1998, when he was first elected.

"Whether by phone, via chavezcandanga (his Twitter account), street by street, town to town, Hugo Chavez will be the same," he said.

The National Electoral Commission has announced that next year's presidential election will be held on 7 October, ahead of the traditional December date.

In June, President Chavez had surgery in Cuba to remove a tumour from his pelvic region.

He had two rounds of chemotherapy in Cuba, and a further round in Venezuela at the end of August.

Well all I can say one thing......Mala hierba nunca muere

"A bad weed never dies" no matter how hard one tries.

you must go deep and kill the root

Well I don't know if I want to go that deep with Chavez.............I might have to pull him by the balls

The roots of freedom go exceedingly deep.

This is not DR related

The good people of Venez supply much gasoline at a bargain price for the DR.
Of course the welfare of their leader is very related to the DR.
S.

Well it might not be but let us look at some of the facts and become aware of the long historical and business ties with Venezuela. When the Haitians first occupied the DR a high percentage of Dominican families excaped and permanently settled in Venezuela, many of them never returned.

Our founding father Juan Pablo Duarte died while in exiled in Caracas, Venezuela. Past president Rómulo Betancourt father of modern democracy in Venezuela survived an assasination attempt against his life by Dominican dictator Raphael Leonidas Trujillo.

Recently Venezuela became a major stake holder of Dominican oil refinery REFIDOMSA a deal which further boosts DR-Venezuela business ties. The current construction boom in Sto Dgo is mostly financed with Venezuelan capital and by investors with cllose links to the land of Bolivar.

Multi-Billionaire communications mogul Gustavo Cisneros has his tentacles attached to the DR where his principal residence and base of operations is located—La Casa Bonita, close to the La Romana.

Now Is that enough or do we need say more?

Yes, I'm sure that stability under a proven leader in Venez would be in Dominican Republic's interests at the moment.

I follow some web sites and have yet to discover any opposition leader that would make sense for either the Venez or DR peoples.
Otherwise Chevez would have lost elections and support a long time ago.
US domination of Venez has left a legacy of lethargy among the people and US multinational interests have used this to their advantage. This has been the pattern in South America.
But even talking via internet to upper and middle class Brazilians who at first opposed everything that Lula's party stood for now have come round to the opinion that social democratic policies are best.

So if Chevez is able to provide continuity to a more social democratic government surely one must wish him well.


S.

I believe this is a sensible opinion that if it reaches fruition may prove workable. After all is not the greatest country in the world the good old USA also a social democracy and it has thus far comparatively speaking worked quite well... don't you think?
