Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Sunday appointed new ministers of interior and justice and information, a cabinet reshuffle after his victory in a recall referendum.

Information Minister Jesse Chacon will replace Lucas Rincon as interior minister and Andress Izarra, press secretary at Venezuela's embassy in Washington, will take the charge of the Information Ministry.

Chavez won a call referendum on Aug. 15 with 59 percent of votes, aiming at ending years of political unrest and crisis in the country.

In a televised speech, the president pledged to fight corruption, intensify social programs for the poor and promote reforms of Venezuela's Supreme Court and the judiciary system.
