英闻天下——92 Court: Chavez's Inauguration Can Be Postponed
英语课
Venezuela's Supreme 1 Court president says that the forthcoming inauguration 2 of ailing 3 President Hugo Chavez can legally be postponed 4.
Luisa Estella Morales is the Supreme Court President.
"Although on January 10 a new constitutional period begins, a new swearing-in ceremony is not necessary for President Hugo Chavez as re-elected president, by virtue 5 of the fact that there is no interruption in the exercise of his duties."
The ruling comes amid a heated debate between the government and opposition 6 over whether the constitution requires the cancer-stricken leader to be sworn in for a new term on Thursday.
The congress has voted to delay the ceremony.
Chavez, who underwent his fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba last month, hasn't spoken publicly in a month.
Opposition leaders have insisted that the National Assembly president should take over temporarily as interim 7 leader and that the Supreme Court should appoint a panel of doctors to determine Chavez's condition and whether he is fit to remain in office.
