That this House notes the tremendous achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution over the last 14 years in Venezuela under the leadership of Hugo Chavez; further notes that Hugo Chavez was recently re-elected for a fourth term as President of Venezuela; observes that former US President Jimmy Carter has declared that `of the 92 elections that we've monitored, I would say the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world'; regrets that the cancer which Hugo Chavez has been afflicted with has returned and that President Chavez has had to undergo further surgery in Cuba; and gives him every good wish for a successful fight against cancer and a rapid recovery to full health.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
