Chávez vows to win another battle
Singing the National Anthem, President Hugo Chávez appeared on the balcony of the Miraflores presidential palace, downtown Caracas, to send a message to the people. "Together we will win this new battle as well!"

At 5:30 pm on Monday, wearing military fatigues and a red beret and waving the national flag, President Hugo Chávez appeared with his daughters on the balcony of the Miraflores presidential palace to greet thousands of followers who crowded the Urdaneta avenue.

He told the Venezuelan people that he was starting a new battle for his life, referring to the health condition that kept him for more than three weeks in Cuba, where he was subject to medical examinations and underwent two surgeries. "Together we will win this new battle as well!" he said in a mandatory radio and television broadcast.

"Let nobody believe that this (his return to Venezuela) means that we won the battle. We have begun to overcome this evil that was incubated in my body (...) A few days ago (Ecuadoran) President Rafael Correa told me by phone: Commander this is another battle and I am sure that as a son of (Simón) Bolívar, the man of the difficulties, you will overcome this too (...) We will win this battle for the revolution and for life," he said.
