Chávez visits industrial complex in the state of Barinas

In reply to rumors spread in social networks in the past two days, Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez went on television Tuesday to supervise the Santa Inés industrial complex, in the southwestern state of Barinas.

"I took a couple of days off. I was with my family and I decided to inspect this tractor factory," the Venezuelan Head of State said.

Chávez was joined by the ministers of Communication, Andrés Izarra; Science and Technology, Ricardo Menéndez and by Adán Chávez, the governor of the state of Barinas and Hugo Chávez's brother.
