Cristina holds official meetings in Olivos in spite of rest orders

Despite the 10 days of convalescence ordered by her doctors, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner continued with an official schedule in Olivos and met with key members of her cabinet this afternoon.

The head of state received Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich and Economy minister Axel Kicillof, who returned yesterday from the G-20 summit celebrated in Brisbane, Australia.

Federal Planning Minister Julio de Vido, Legal and Technical Secretary Carlos Zannini and head of YPF state-run oil company Miguel Galuccio also participated in an afternoon of meetings.

Fernández de Kirchner continues her 10-day rest as she gradually returns to full time activities, following a week-long hospitalization in the Otamendi clinic for an infection of the colon.
