Via the BBC: Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez to resume Cuba cancer treatment.
This time, the trip was expressly authorized by the Venezuelan parliament.
It remains unclear (to me, at least) why it is necessary to go to Cuba for the treatments.

Easier to keep a lid on the prognosis in Cuba I bet.
Also, he doesn’t trust the ‘doctor’ back home.
