Izarra: on rumor, the mob's dirty war

The Minister of Communication and Information Andres Izarra ruled in his official twitter account about the rumors about the health of President Chavez. Izarra dismissed the situation and wrote "On rumors, dirty war of the scoundrel."

On the night of Monday the international chain Telemundo said in his Twitter account that the president's daughter was at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba.

During the morning news team Globovision went to Ministry of Communication and Information to try to get statements from the holder of that portfolio, on the health of the President, after several rumors circulated about his status this weekend.

The Ministry was closed for the holiday of Carnival. Izarra was also located at the headquarters of Telesur and Venezolana de Television. Journalists tried to communicate by phone, but it was not possible.

Some rumors are aware of a possible emergency surgery or a national representative for the cancer relapse was diagnosed in June 2011, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

The national president's last appearance on television came on Friday when he made a brief national chain from the Vargas state with members of the PSUV.
