Óscar “Cachito” Salomón, president of the Senate, reported that Fernando Lugo has made positive progress regarding the Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) suffered on August 10. However, because he needs a recovery period, he applied to the plenary for a 60-day paid leave.
Since, in his capacity as president of the Chamber, he cannot make the request, the motion was presented by the second vice president, Hermelinda Alvarenga, a senator for the PLRA. “I take this opportunity to ask for his speedy recovery,” said the legislator.
Legislators unanimously approved the request.
