Supporters camp in front of the Austral Hospital, where President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was operated on today.
Over one hundred activists heartily celebrated outside the Austral hospital that the surgery President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner underwent to have a thyroid tumour removed as performed without complications.
Presidential spokesman Alfredo Scoccimarro read the medical report aloud and the activists quickly surrounded the gates to listen. As soon as it was announced that the surgery was performed without complications, they cheered and applauded happily.
The Kirchnerite supporters belong to Movimiento Evita organization as well to political groups linked to the Quilmes mayor Francisco Gutiérrez and to José C. Paz mayor Mario Ishii.
The Head of State was operated on Wednesday after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last week.
Despite it being a low-risk intervention, she will have to stay out of office for the next twenty days.
The activists are waving flags and waiting for the first medical report outside the hospital’s doors, one hundred metres away from the main building.
