Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced that his cancer has returned and that he will undergo another surgery in Cuba.
Chavez, who won re-election on Oct. 7, also said for the first time that if his health were to worsen, his successor would be Vice-President Nicolas Maduro.
"We should guarantee the advance of the Bolivarian Revolution," Chavez said on television Saturday night, seated at the presidential palace with Maduro and other aides.
