Vice-President Amado Boudou, who remains acting President as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner recovers from a thyroid surgery, reiterated on Monday that “Cristina’s recovery was spectacular.”
“Her recovery has been spectacular. Luckily, her diagnosis after the surgery has given us some peace of mind,” said the acting President.
Boudou avoided commenting on the potential date the the President will resume her activities as Commander in Chief.
“That will be determined by the doctors taking care of her,” he explained.
During an interview with a local radio, Boudou reiterated the diagnosis that cleared CFK of a thyroid cancer “was a relief to all Argentines.”
“We all felt a bit distressed. It could be felt on the streets and in everyday people’s conversations. The surgery itself was a relief, the right diagnosis an even bigger release. Argentines are very happy,” he remarked.
Boudou also said he considered “abusive” and “malicious” the treatment given by some parts of the local press to the subject.
