Described as "horrendous" statements by Chavez on cancer

Comments of the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, which wondered whether cases of cancer among Latin American rulers may have been induced are "heinous and reprehensible", said today the Government of the United States.U.S.

. The spokesperson of the Department of State, Victoria Nuland, thus described statements made by Chávez on Wednesday to refer to the cancer diagnosed this week to the President of argentina, Cristina Fernandez, and the fact that there are other leaders, as himself, who have been affected by this disease.

Nuland did not say anything more regarding the suspicions made by Chávez, that while he did not mention to the United States.UU. directly in relation to cancer, yes addressed the same statements of U.S. experiments with Guatemalan peasants who them inoculated syphilis in the 1940s.

"Is at least strange, very, very, very strange", said Chavez on the abundance of diagnoses of u000acancer among Latin American Presidents.

Addition of Fernández and Chávez, in the now President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, was diagnosed with a lymphatic cancer in 2009, when it was not yet in power, and by the same type of cancer had to be dealt with in 2010 the President of Paraguay, Fernando Lugo.

The last November, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who preceded Rousseff as President of Brazil, announced that he is suffering from cancer of the larynx and is currently in treatment.

Although he warned that he didn't do "reckless" charges, Chavez was asked: "It would be strange that they had developed a technology to induce cancer and nobody knows until now and discover this in 50 years or do not know how many?".
