VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez flew to Cuba yesterday for a third cancer operation after designating the vice president as his political heir.
State television showed images of Chavez hugging Vice President Nicolas Maduro and other aides before boarding the presidential jet.
Chavez raised a fist as he climbed the stairs alone.
The president has said he will undergo cancer surgery in Havana in the coming days. Chavez, who had returned from Cuba early last Friday, said on television on Saturday that tests had found a return of "some malignant cells" in the same area where tumors were previously removed.
He also said for the first time that if he has complications, Maduro should be elected as Venezuela's leader to continue his socialist movement.
