Venezuela’s Chavez loses hair from chemotherapy August 2, 2011
Posted by politicsw in Uncategorized.add a comment
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez appeared on television on Monday with his head closely shaved and bald patches from hair loss caused by chemotherapy for a cancer that has slowed him ahead of a re-election bid.
Wearing a sombre suit and red tie, Chavez talked about the reasons for his hair loss, saying it was a sign the chemotherapy was working against fast-growing cells such as those associated with cancer.
“This is my new look,” the president joked during his second hour-long appearance of the day and then held up a photograph of himself as a toddler with little hair. “I’m returning to my youth,” he said.
A close friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, Chavez had a large tumour removed in Havana in June and has since been back to the Communist-led island for treatment. His illness raised doubts about his fitness to run in elections next year but he has looked stronger in recent days.
“Last night I had to call the barber and I said ‘look, my hair is falling out,’ because I went for a bath, I used the shampoo I always use and I felt, zas!, a bit fell out,” he said earlier in a phone call to a breakfast show on state TV.

Chavez allies win majority of seats in Venezuela’s congressional vote, opponents make gains October 1, 2010
Posted by politicsw in Uncategorized.add a comment
President Hugo Chavez’s allies won a strong majority in Venezuela’s congress, but lost the two-thirds majority needed to carry out major changes on their own, according to election results released Monday.
With the vast majority of votes from Sunday’s election counted, Chavez’s socialist party won at least 96 of the 165 seats in the National Assembly, while the opposition coalition won at least 61 seats, National Electoral Council president Tibisay Lucena said. Chavez’s party had held an overwhelming majority in the outgoing congress because much of the opposition boycotted the past election.
The remaining eight seats Sunday either went to a small splinter party or had not yet been determined, she said.
The council’s initial bulletin did not mention the popular vote. Opposition parties have alleged that congressional districts are drawn to over-represent the government’s strength — an advantage Chavez will not have in the 2012 presidential vote.

Venezuela
Historically, Venezuela has had a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. In the 2005 parliamentary elections, the Fifth Republic Movement effectively established itself as the dominant party in a dominant-party system; its position was continued by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, into which it merged on 2007-10-20.

Venezuela
There are currently two major blocs of political parties in Venezuela: the incumbent leftist bloc United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), its major allies Fatherland for All (PPT) and the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), and the opposition bloc led by A New Era (UNT) together with its allied parties Project Venezuela, Justice First, Movement for Socialism (Venezuela) and others. Following the fall of Marcos Pérez Jiménez in 1958, Venezuelan politics was dominated by the third-way Christian democratic COPEI and the center-left social democratic Democratic Action (AD) parties; this two-party system was formalized by the puntofijismo arrangement. However, this system has been sidelined following the initial 1998 election of current president Hugo Chávez, which started the Bolivarian Revolution.
