Chávez could stay out of the Venezuela months, Vice President, says - New York Times

CARACAS (Venezuela) - President Hugo Ch?vez, which shocked the nation by revealing that he had a cancerous tumour removed and "would continue fighting", could keep for Venezuela of its isolation in Cuba for as long as six months, his Vice President, said Friday.

The statement by the vice President, El?as Jaua, a supporter of fair of Mr. Ch?vez, who said he has no intention to temporarily replace President, intensify certainly concerns here about a vacuum of power as Mr. Ch?vez retrieves a Cuban medical complex cancer surgery.

In the few weeks that the President has been out of the country, a conflict between the supporters of Mr. Ch?vez and the political opposition broke on the question of whether the constitution permits Mr. Ch?vez, 56, to govern the country abroad during his convalescence.

But the possibility of a longer stay in Cuba has further emboldened Venezuela of the dashing, if fractured, opposition, boosting its hopes of beating Mr. Ch?vez in a presidential election next year.

"It may be that the President is unable to six months to fully exercise its functions, and nothing happens," said Teodoro Petkoff, editor of the opposition Tal Cual newspaper. "The vice President of the Republic must deal with this.".

Light research and to keep his remarks chewed short, as Mr. Ch?vez acknowledged Cuba Thursday that he had undergone surgery to remove the tumor, but he gave no indication as to what type of cancer he was battling or when he hoped to return to the Venezuela.

Mr. Jaua said that he expected full Mr. Ch?vez to return to the Venezuela within 180 days. In his remarks, in an interview with a Colombian radio station, he clearly indicated that he and other senior officials of Government of Mr. Ch?vez relied on an interpretation of the constitution that would allow the President to exercise his duties as head of State abroad for a period of three months, which could then be extended for a further period of three months.

"We have a victory for the life of President Hugo Ch?vez,", said Mr. Jaua, who led the expropriation of land until Mr. Ch?vez Appoints Vice-President.

The situation is made more complex by applicable device revolves around personality Commander Mr. Ch?vez. The Vice President showed no desire to enter into the shoes of the revolutionary leader, even if it's just for several weeks. Meanwhile, senior military officials, said Friday that Mr Ch?vez remained in charge.

"It is up-to-date on everything happening, ask questions and check things, he has been very active," GEN Henry Rangel Silva, a senior official in the armed forces, told state television Friday morning. But the General Rangel Silva said, "no doubt our Commander in Chief, the President of the Republic, should some time."

However, the lack of details about the health problems of Mr. Ch?vez and the manner in which he announced his cancer surgery - after three weeks of absence from Cuba and Mr. Ch?vez and the here claimed State media he was wrestling only with pelvic abscess - raised doubts as to how many even senior officials in his Government are aware of his condition.

Until the announcement of the President Thursday night, leading his supporters were dismissing reports that he had cancer, labelling of disinformation efforts to destabilize the Government of Mr. Ch?vez. Even after the communication of Mr. Ch?vez, some here refuse to believe that he could be seriously ill.

"No, the President has not cancer," said Alfredo M?rquez, 53, a member of an armed force established by Mr. Ch?vez Bolivarian militia. "It was something more simple".

The vagueness of the constitution of the Venezuela regarding the replacement of the President, even temporarily, allows different interpretations upon the constitutional experts. In addition, the control supporters of Mr. Ch?vez maintained in the National Assembly and the judiciary reduced the viability of the challenges to the vision of the President of whether he should be powers transferred its lack.

"Some boats is not ready and is not not when us leave, although we hope that this will be in the coming week", Ewa Jasiewicz, a leader of the Free Gaza of the Poland movement, told the Jerusalem Post, of the Greece. "We cannot rule out the possibility that it will be pushed off the coast until early next week."

In any event, the Israel Navy continues its preparations to stop the planned fleet of 10 ships.

Tuesday, officers of the Navy and aviation has organized a series of meetings to discuss operational plans and senior IDF officials have in recent days, talked with foreign military attachés based in Israel as well as with their counterparts from countries whose citizens participate fleet.

10 Vessels should participate in the fleet include the freedom of the Ireland, the audacity of hope in the United States, the Canada Tahrir, Swedish and Greek Juliano, two Swedish-Greek cargo vessels carrying 3,000 tons of supplies, the Italian ship Stefano Chiarini and French ships Julien Rivoire and dignity.

The two French ships left Corsica over the weekend and are en route to the rendezvous point in the Mediterranean, Jasiewicz said, while other boats is moored in Greece awaiting approval to depart from the band of Gaza.

On Tuesday, the Juliano propeller shaft was found cut, leading organizers to accuse Israel of sabotaging the ship, which will take several days to correct.

"Insurance has been withdrawn, one of the ships has been sabotaged and Greek authorities have not given all the permits," Jasiewicz said about delays.

Jasiewicz rejected the assertions of IDF declared in the Post Tuesday that information obtained by Israel shows that some of the passengers plan to attack soldiers and bring bags of sulphur on board to pay the soldiers and then set on fire.

"We have no record of that." "It is a false claim," she said.

"All passengers have been trained in non-violence and non-compliance tactics." The idea is not step of having contacts with the Israeli army. We are not any violent confrontation... "Violence only that we have heard is from the Israeli army".

Chief of general staff lieutenant - general Benny Gantz said on Tuesday that the fleet is not intended to provide humanitarian aid to Gazans, but rather to delegitimize Israel internationally.

Gantz, speaking at a ceremony for IDF honor reservists, said there was no lack of basic supplies in the Gaza Strip, and that they "import televisions and plasma screens and the export of agricultural products in all the Arab world."

The Israeli army was well equipped and ready to deal with any threat posed by militants of the fleet, he said.

Speaking at the same ceremony, Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the flotilla a "provocation", adding that "there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza." If [activists] are sensitive to human suffering, then they need transform their efforts for releasing [kidnapped soldier] Gilad Schalit or at least allowing the visitors. »
