Really....
Argenis Chavez, brother of Hugo, and holder of a plum job through which a lot of money flows (electric utilities, that show no sign of real improvement) told the AP today that Chavez could be back mid February.
A few hours later he said that no, that he was misunderstood, that he never said that, tagadabadu.... and added insult to injury by stating that it was to the government to speak of Hugo's health, not his family. Plop! Can you say reprimand by some Cuban officer?
To make things even more surrealist, today illegal foreign minister Jaua flew to Havana to consult with Chavez on foreign policy matters for an oncoming summit. He says that he chatted amiably with Chavez, that this one explained to him what to do at that summit. This, for a president that in over a month has not been able to even give a brief phone call to Venezuelan state TV. Yeah, right.....
I do not know about you, but after having lied for so long about Chavez situation the new post Chavez regime seems enmeshed in quite a toxic web of its own making. Not to mention that they are using the health of Chavez shamelessly for political purposes in Venezuela. They will unplug him when he is no longer of use. Oh well...
