Chávez Gets Bluster Back and Reclaims the Spotlight

Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan president declared: “Here I am. I have returned.” Chavez was in predicament while he had been treated for his cancer. Although he never disclosed the name of the cancer, his political power over regions of Venezuela had waned and the doubts of foreign press toward the possibility for him to campaign for reelection. However, proving that he have revived, Chavez presented the longest annual address to the National Assembly, appointed a new defense minister who is accused by the State Department for supporting drug traffcking of a Colombian rebel group, and is vigorously filling out his schedule which was reduced during the treatment. Stating that "the US may have developed a way to give Latin American leaders cancer" after Argentine president was diagnosed with the disease, Chavez, revived from the cancer is obviously restarting his engine as a socialist leader.
