He said that Chavez is recovering "satisfactorily" and shows no signs of "seriousness." Adán's analysis was presented in the form of an official statement, published on the official site of the President of the Republic of Venezuela. Friday (24th). The President sent messages to people on the internet.

In the last 10 days, Chavez, who made an official visit to Cuba, underwent emergency surgery for removal of an abscess in the pelvis. Since then he has been hospitalized in Havana.
