President Hugo Chävez, ending the speculation swirling around him after he failed to appear at a rally he called on Saturday [NB: as previously scheduled] and on his Sunday program [NB: !Alo Presidente!, his weekly TV broadcast], will preside over the 428th Counsel of Ministers meeting in the palace of government.
The President said that he had been visiting his daughter in Barquisimeto, reiterating that the suspension of his broadcast was due to the Venezuela-Brazil volleyball match.
The President showed up on Venezuelan television announcing the approval of a series of credit measures and the quick opening of the Metro to the Teques. In response to the rumors that spread regarding the absence of the head of state, zones of security were set up around Miraflores Monday morning by followers of the government who insisted on knowing on his life and health, which convinced the President to appear on the TV screen. |
