Cristina Fernandez has hand-written copies of Chavez political testament, says Bocaranda
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez in her recent visit to Cuba declined to see the ailing Hugo Chavez but surprised her hosts, the Castro brothers, when she revealed having received two letters from the Venezuelan leader which she considered to be his political testament.
Nelson Bocaranda the veteran Venezuelan communicator considered the best informed journalist of what is going on in his country and in Cuba where the cancer stricken Hugo Chavez is fighting for his life, made this brief comment on the recent visit of Argentine President Cristina Fernandez.
The Argentine president arrived in rigorous black with a Bible and two medallions, one from patron saint the Virgin of Lujan and the second Saint Benito Abad, which she planned to hand personally to Chavez. His family given the closeness, love and friendship with Cristina Fernandez allowed her to enter the Unit of Intensive Care at the hospital and see the convalescent Chavez, but she declined.
“As she told her closest aides in the flight that took her from Cuba to the Arab Emirates ‘I want to keep the image of a strong and active Hugo’”, reveals Bocaranda in his column. And that is why in her twitter on leaving Cuba she posted “Forever”.
However a curious piece of information until now unknown is that during a meeting with her hosts the Castro brothers, Fidel and Raul, Cristina Fernandez told them she had received copies of two letters hand written by Chavez in early December, before his last surgery, which she described as “his political testament”.
Until then it was believed that only Venezuela’s Attorney General Cilia Flores (and wife of Vice president Nicolas Maduro) had the originals (¿?) Cristina Fernandez later confessed to her closest aides that the surprise in the faces of the Castro family and the Cuban Foreign minister when she mentioned the letters, also stunned her.
Finally Bocaranda says that following on former Brazilian president announcement that he plans to visit Chavez in Cuba in a month’s time, means that the “stationary situation of the Venezuelan leader has at least another thirty days”.

but she has his testament.... oh joy or furking happiness... you couldn't make this up... bet he sed she gets bucket loads of cash and free oil for life...
I suspect the stunned look was the realisation that CFKC is truly barking mad. They probably made soothing noises whilst keeping one eye on their nearest exit.
...oh wait...
I wonder which one will crack first and leak his death?
The indignity of it all.
I always figured the delusional half wit was using Chaves' playbook to destroy Argentina now it is confirmed.
Her role as 'feeder' seems to be leading to her son's demise too. It's only a matter of time before he gets type-2 diabetes or some other disease that results from chronic obesity.
Quite a strange lady.

“KFC seems to spend most of her days talking to dead or semi-dead people. Is there a reason for this or why she shuns the company of the living?”
Mainly she likes to talk with dead people because their questions are easy to answer. Live people tend to ask difficult questions!!!!!!!!

The info about the oil industry is compelling. More reserves than Saudi Arabia but a declining production due to....um....er.....incompetence by the look of it.
Not suprising, there is yet to be an example of a nationalised oil industry which increases production over a prolonged period of time...
She seems to be going all holy and sacred on us. I suppose the catholics back home love all that.
Yes, there will be mass rallies back in AG about holding a mass to celibrate TMBOA conversion the the anti-christ church that holds masses.
Would that be in addition to accusing the UK of having weapons of MASS detruction in the South Atlantic?
Still, it sounds good to have Dead Man Not Walkings ( fill the name in here ) to hold over the heads of the illiterate and stupid. So thats the AG government taken care of then.
You say...:
...... there is yet to be an example of a nationalised oil industry which increases production over a prolonged period of time...
I say....:
Interesting postulate......
Especially taking in consideration that more than 70% of the Worlds Oil reserves have been nationalized in the last few decades....
I got my info from useless, ignorant, biased, lying, comunist Argie, Arab & other lower peoples loving Wikipedia..:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization_of_oil_supplies#References
May I ask......................? Where do YOU get YOUR info from?
Welsh wizard said “there is yet to be an example of a nationalised oil industry which increases production over a prolonged period of time...”. You then responded with “more than 70% of the Worlds Oil reserves have been nationalized in the last few decades”
Your response has no relation to the topic which is the efficiency and production of nationalised companies. It's common knowledge that nationalised companies have traits such as lack of efficiency, mainly caused by laziness. Any political figure or MBA student knows this.
So, you should probably rethink your response providing statistics about production and efficiency of nationalised oil companies, rather than just citing an unrelated Wikipedia page.
An academic, you are clearly not.
Screaming,
[After all I have done for that xastard, and he is dying without seeing the expected one]
Still,
It’s the thought that counts,
He though but then changed his mind..

#14 I guess you talk from experience. I didn't even know you could talk to the dead , isn't that evil and satanic?
#15 that is why Venezuela will benefit from running their own oil production, practice makes perfect and perfect can be rented out to other nation like Argentina.
#17 let me just say that unlike US and UK we don't give up that easy, that's why we give nationalization another chance, if it doesn't work for USA and UK maybe it is because you are all inept.
#18 you must come from a country that allows people to walk into the a surgery room while an operation is in progress. Thank God Cuba is not like USA and sick people take priority over the camera man and reporters, I thought the murder of the UK princess ended that goofy attitude by the English people.
#19 no need for any explanation and the only thing you need to know is that we Argentines love CFK and support her 100%.
#20 the only dead man walking I see here is the english man digging their own finacial grave in Latin America.
#22 lol thats easy to prove, Libya national oil production grew under Gaddafy, Iraq production grew while under Saddam and Saudi Arabia production grows under the king. About you get informed before asking others for prove of anything. I don't like making people look stupid unless they really are.

“English people making terrorist and murdering innocent Muslim women and children”
YAWN!!!!! YAWN!!!! YAWN!!!
Can I just ask, when have we murdered innocent Muslim women and children??? When??
I don't actually think that we have...In fact, I don't we have EVER murdered innocent Muslim women and children.
I think that the Taliban have, I know that the taliban have murdered plenty of innocent Muslim women and children. I know that we bring a better way of life to Afganistan. The Taliban just brought pain and misery. What about the attempted murder of a 12 year old girl whose only crime was to ask if she could receive an education?
You would forget all of this and just mouth the same tired old bullsh*t from your un-educated mouth. You seriously need to get a brain and start thinking for yourself son.... because at the moment you are sounding like a whiny little b*tch.
But at least we are not RAPPING them as you usually claim you illiterate idiot.
BTW, you WISH you had my money you looser (clue: it's loser, you loser).
LOLs
Peso is 7.65/1U$ today
What happens when Farmers sell their soy and are paid OVER 50% less in pesos compared to THE REAL EXCHANGE RATE.
If I were them I wouldn't sell at that price I would just wait until the gov't collapsed.
@28 When's it going to be 10 pesos/$?
so loyal to the very end,
for a piece of plastic who would not give him the time of day,
perhaps he thinks she will go to canada and thank him personaly for his loyal suport..
CFK is a close friend of Chavez. He is dying. I am appalled that she did not give the greatest gift, her presence, to a dying person, that she was the one who declined to see him. This tells us alot about her character. Shame on her.
as for chubbys letters, i would have thought castro was more close to him seen as he has chosen to die in cuba , strange how crusty the clown suddenly came up with these convenient orders no doubt stating fat f*cks last wishes of an all latino colonisation of The Falklands and sanctuary for crusty and maximo with ALL their laundered argentine dollars when time comes,
Its too bad he is too close to death to confirm or deny these alledged letters, maybe she didnt want to look him in the eye for a good reason :) possibly the guilt of lies!
SELF-DETERMINATION, The UN wishes, the wishes that matter!
'she was the one who declined to see him. '
This is her 'lie of the day'. Up until she decided to trot out this 'testament ' the word from Caracas and Havana was that the Chavez family wouldn't let her near him, most likely fearing that she would grab him by the goolies and force him to sign Venezuala over to her.
I see De Vido is in Caracas getting agreements signed... 'sign this or we tell the world Chavez is on ice........'
Whether she declined or she was declined...it still says alot about her character.
The amount of secrecy involved over some minor cancer treatment is at odds with the amount of time that Chavez and Cristina usually expound upon issues and problems.
Thank you British_Kirchnerist for highlighting the disdain by which the Venezuelan people (and also the Argentinian people) are being treated by their leaders. If it wasn't for the secrecy and dearth of news, there would be no need for Mercopress or others to build news out of so little.
Perhaps Assange can get wikileaks to find some information from the Ecuadorian Embassy.
“. You seriously need to get a brain and start thinking for yourself son.... because at the moment you are sounding like a whiny little b*tch.”
@24
Ha ha, PH ALEX VARGAS !!! you DO sound like a whiney little bitch!!!
What a horse's patoot you are.
“ you must come from a country that allows people to walk into the a surgery room while an operation is in progress.”
Nobody is talking about walking into an Operating Room during surgery, dumkopf !! Chavez, or more likely, his body, is in Intensive Care - where select visitors and conspirators are allowed (unless they decline).
Do you think Hugo's corpse slipped those “Testaments” under the door to CFK???
I think you must be a “looser” and an illiterate in two languages.
Keep us laughing, 'Troll From Toronto' !!
Hi Think. Happy Christmas and New Year and I hope life is treating you well. When I say nationalised we are talking fully nationalised here. Even the doyens of oil nationalisation (the Russians) belatedly realised that you need to have some level of corporate support and the best way of incentivising this is by giving that corporate an equity chunk so that they have an earn out ability. Almost every single “nationalised” oil company is actually a joint venture of some description between public and private entities (see Brazil, Russia etc). So my point was that every fully nationalised oil company has seen a reduction in production after nationalisation which is why they have then sold off part of the company to an oil company who have then been able to increase production has they have the technical capability to do so.
@24
Not just UK and US, see above.
NOW We know how you Argentines love to wipe the truth from history like you are an immagrant nation of Europeans (just like The Falkland Islanders) but think before making statements like above was it not long ago when you were killing eachother throwing people from aircraft?? let us not forget The Dissapeard you greaseball
She would put the crucifix in her mouth to bite it to see if it was gold or whether it was really silver.
If it was silver it would blow her head off!
I'm still guessing the holy-water would work.
to merco press lol.
This is going to play out like the running joke in 'Only Fools and Horses'; “Your mother said on her deathbed”........ Chavez is making all kinds of decrees, last wishes and sending letters whilst in a coma. Amazing.
This is the Argentinian (Catholic) equivalent of Mount Sinai and Moses' bringing down of the Tablets of Stone.
(“There were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud”).
The Chavez Testament will assume God-like significance, and will ensure that CFK becomes 'The Daughter Of God' to her people.
...there's more than one way of getting returned as president.

#26 I know vritish don't like CFK, but we Argentine support CFK 100% that's why we elected her and will vote for her again next elections, hoping she will build a nuclear defence program 100% made in Argentina, we read history and know about the vritish colonists intentions from way back 1807.
axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_64333.shtml
#27 lol your money? I didn't know thieves could keep the loot, I guess Islas Malvinas Argentina didn't teach you anything, I am sure when a nuclear defence program 100% made in Argentina gets built you will see the light a lot faster. Trust me.
#28 they will eat heir products and get really fat with it, Since export tax can keep our resources at home While people living in rocks that float will have to spend their loot to eat and survive.
#29 keep wishing, how long has it being10 years?
#30 highly unlikely my queen is not like your queen, mine has democratic power not slaves.
#31 at least she attended, was Obama or the vritish president/queen present? Lol
#32 we Argentine also have the right to self determination but its not possible under illegal vritish occupation. We all know the racist run UN that's why the leader isn't democratically elected, that's why we Argentine support CFK and a nuclear defence programs 100% made in Argentina. You can keep fakland holding in UK, we are not interested.

#33 Argentina's relations with Venezuela are not as the relations between USA and UK there is no comparison, Argentina and Venezuela don't kill innocent Muslim women and children for resources we have resources at home.
