Chavez is calm and conscious of post-operative period <http://static1.avn.info.ve/sites/default/files/imagecache/original-watermark/fotografia/201301/01_fb_01711341015648.jpg> Caracas, 18 Ene. AVN.- Following a visit three days ago to the president of the Republic, Hugo Chavez, executive vice-president Nicolas Maduro informed Thursday that Venezuelan leader is conscious of all phases of post-operative period, after a surgery he underwent last December 11 in Havana, Cuba. "In general, I see him very calm, very serene, very conscious of all the phases through which he has passed in the post-operative period," Maduro said in an interview with Efe and broadcast by website Noticias24. Maduro, who visited Chavez last Monday in Havana, explained that "all phase of infection has been controlled," referring to respiratory infection the national leader suffered. He added that information on Chavez's health has been handled according to his world leadership and denounced that, despite official statements, public opinion has been manipulated against data being provided. "Hugo Chavez is president and will continue to be so. We have been very clear of role played by president. However, we are facing a media war, really miserable on president's life and health. It is a mortuary journalism, full of evil, particularly installed in Spain, in ABC newspaper, for example." VP said that "perhaps the next few days, after meeting with medical staff, more accurate information will be provided on president Chavez's clinical progress for the coming weeks and what time he could be ready to turn back to Caracas." When asked about president Chavez's temporary absence, Maduro answered there is an ongoing government and "there are no assumptions for a temporary absence. There is a government in office working." *Appointment of Jaua* On January 15, VP announced, by decision of the President of the Republic, that sociologist and socialist leader Elias Jaua is the new Venezuelan foreign minister. This appointment, published in the Official Gazette, was challenged by government retractors. In this regard, Maduro replied that it is a decision underpinned by a reliable document. "They were the ones who forged a letter and president's signature, saying that he had voluntarily resigned on April 11-13, 2002. Now, they question the designation done with all of the seriousness and formality in the Bolivarian government by the one who can designate people, the president of the republic, who runs foreign policy and has appointed a top chancellor." VP added that while he was in Cuba, he talked to Fidel and Raul Castro about bilateral plans for cooperation on health, education, sports, culture and economy. "We do not lose a single second to talk about economic projects between both nations. Venezuela and Cuba have a set of joint investments and a very dynamic and multidimensional relation, so we took the opportunity to address these issues in order to be further developed," Maduro said.
