HUGO CHAVEZ

Early day motion 859, tabled 17 December 2012 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 17 members.

That this House notes the tremendous achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution over the last 14 years in Venezuela under the leadership of Hugo Chavez; further notes that Hugo Chavez was recently re-elected for a fourth term as President of Venezuela; observes that former US President Jimmy Carter has declared that `of the 92 elections that we've monitored, I would say the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world'; regrets that the cancer which Hugo Chavez has been afflicted with has returned and that President Chavez has had to undergo further surgery in Cuba; and gives him every good wish for a successful fight against cancer and a rapid recovery to full health.
