Venezuela's Chavez making progress after surgery, minister says

It appears as thought Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is making progress in his recovery, but it will take a while for him to get back to full strength after surgery.

Communication Minister Ernesto Villegas said Thursday Chavez is making a progressive recovery but he'll need time to recuperate due to the complexity of the operation he underwent and complications due to a hemorrhage that was treated.

Chavez responded positively to the treatment and will need further treatments to fully recover, Villegas said in a statement broadcast on Venezuelan state television.

    Chavez, you fool, instead of fancying about destroying imperialism and capitalism, go clean the streets in your country first and let young people find jobs.
