Venezuela's Congress' Deputy Speaker Darío Vivas has informed that since President Hugo Chávez has been granted permission by the Congress to get well, Vice-President Nicolás Maduro planned to present on Tuesday the Government's Report for fiscal year 2012.

Vivas said in a radio broadcast that the event would be held at 4:00 pm (Local time), but it is unknown whether opposition deputies, who have been invited, would attend the event. "Some of them say there is not a Government as such. Nicolás Maduro will be delivering a speech, though," Vivas said.

The very early morning after the presidential election (April 15), both candidates requested the National Electoral Council (CNE) to conduct a full audit of the process: one, Henrique Capriles, because he asserts that the election results are different from the ones announced, and the other one, Nicolás Maduro, in order to clear any doubt regarding his victory, and to reinforce his political stance. Nevertheless, as it is already known, President Maduro changed his mind.
