Venezuela’s cancer-stricken president, Hugo Chavez, is recovering in Cuba and is not in a coma as some have rumored a month after surgery, his brother, Adan Chavez, said after a visit to Havana. The 58-year-old socialist leader has not been seen or heard from since his cancer surgery last December – his fourth such operation – leaving Venezuela in a state of suspense. The older brother Adan Chavez, who is governor of the family’s home state of Barinas, said the president was improving daily, according to a news release on Saturday from his office. He said that information on social networks and in other places, saying the president is in a coma and his family are discussing the supposed disconnection of life support equipment, are totally false.
