President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reported that he is back in the National Palace, after yesterday he underwent a cardiac catheterization at the central military hospital of The Sedena.
He explained that 15 days ago he did a stress test and the doctors decided that he had to have a catheterization, but that he was delayed by his COVID-19 infection.
He said that, after the review, doctors found that his arteries were fine and unobstructed, so they told him that he can do his normal life and that it can be “applied thoroughly.”
“There is a president for a time, the necessary, indispensable, the basic to carry out the changes and transformation,” he said in a video.
López Obrador said he has a political will because he cannot govern the country and act responsibly, with the history of heart attack he had, hypertension and his intense work, without taking into account the possibility of losing his life.
“How is the country, governability has to be guaranteed, so I have a will for that, it is not going, I think, to be needed and we will continue together loving each other very much,” he said.
