CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuela's main opposition movement demanded Wednesday that the government tell "the truth" about President Hugo Chavez's health as one of his closest allies said his condition was "very worrying."
"Let's hope our prayers will be effective in saving the life of brother President Chavez," Bolivian President Evo Morales said of Chavez, longtime leader of OPEC member Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven oil reserves.
In an update Wednesday, Chavez's son-in-law Jorge Arreaza, the country's minister of science and technology, said in a tweet that the president's condition was "stable" but still delicate.
