President Hugo Chavez relented and assigned limited powers to his VP and FM...during his absence...before departing for chemo treatments La Habana.
However, neither man was sworn-in as acting president.
His party may also now be in disarray...as factions fight for control.
Experts wonder if "Chavismo" can survive without him?
ALSO: More about Hugo's secret hospitalization in Cuba.
"Everything there will be arranged as if a member of the Castro family were being treated -- strict secrecy, encrypted communication with Venezuela, transport, etcetera, just as if a favourite son had returned," said an observer.
