Thousands of Venezuelans have joined demonstrations across the country to show their support for President Hugo Chavez, who is recovering from cancer surgery in Cuba, the Associated Press reports. A crowd marched through the streets of Caracas, dancing, beating drums and waving flags. Chavez posted a message in his Twitter account cheering the demonstrators saying “We will live and we will win!” Surgeons removed a tumor from the same part of the pelvic region where a previous tumor was removed in June. The Venezuelan leader maintains that his health problems will not prevent him from running for re-election in October.
