After 11:00 pm on Monday, December 24, Venezuelan Vice-President and Minister of Foreign Affairs Nicolás Maduro assured state-run TV channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) of having spoken with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. They tackled, among others, the domestic state of affairs, particularly economy, in addition to Chávez's health status and recovery.

"Commander Chávez sends a kiss to all Venezuelan children and wishes all Venezuelans a Merry Christmas," he told VTV. The president, Maduro, added, "is sharing with his family the Christmas night."

Nevertheless, as it is already known, President Maduro changed his mind.
