Brazilian President
Back To Work From Hypertension
RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazilian President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva Monday resumed his
regular work after having a high blood
pressure last week.
In his weekly radio show "Breakfast with the
President," Lula said this hypertensive
crisis might have been caused by excessive
work, but stressing he was in good health
condition and would keep working and
traveling while taking better care of his
health at the same time.
After undergoing several physical
examinations in a hospital in Recife,
northeast Brazil late Wednesday, the
president was asked to rest and cancel his
schedule for the week.
The incident happened when Lula was about to
leave for Davos,Switzerland, where he would
receive an award at the World Economic
Forum. Foreign Relations Minister Celso
Amorim was sent to Davos to represent the
president.
During the radio show, Lula also commented
on the World Social Forum, which took place
last week in Porto Alegre, south Brazil,
saying the Forum, in its tenth year, was
more mature now.
"It is important for us to have the Forum to
show it is possible to build a better
country and a better world. And it is
possible to improve the relationship between
the government and social society," he said.
