The former president had a recent episode linked to his health
Lacalle Herrera He was admitted in April of this year to the Mater Dei Sanatorium of the Buenos aires city, Argentina, after having participated in a tribute at the Uruguay Square for his grandfather and political leader of the PN, Luis Alberto de Herrerain which the head of the Buenos Aires Government participated, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
On that occasion, the former president had been bitten by a spider during Easter in Long Hill and, due to an infection in his foot that later progressed to his leg, he was hospitalized as a precaution.
At that time, he had to cancel his in-person participation in an event about Herrera and Argentina at the Argentine Center for International Relations, although he participated by videoconference. He even allowed himself to joke about the episode: “I want to clarify that the spider is Uruguayan, eh, so that there is no type of international mystification.”
His presentation lasted about an hour, where the white leader appreciated that the country managed to develop “despite its neighbors,” while he highlighted the “desire for independence and to be oblivious to what is happening around us.”
