Venezuela is denying rumors that Hugo Chavez died while undergoing cancer treatments in Cuba. In nine days since he has left, the only contact El Presidente has made is via twitter:

“Governing by Twitter, approving laws by Twitter without consulting anybody, is an insult to our people. The country’s problems cannot be resolved by Twitter,” Capriles said.

It’s only a matter of time until he’s following @forexlive like everyone else.

Update: Chavez responds saying it’s ‘absurd’ to think he’s governing via twitter.
