Mexico president back in office after stay in hospital

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador returned to the Presidential Palace on Saturday after undergoing a cardiac catheterization at the Central military hospital Friday afternoon.

The 68-year-old president gave a message through social networks in which he explained that these types of procedures are normal due to the heart attack he suffered in 2013 and the fact that he has high blood pressure.

López Obrador said the catheterization - in which a small, flexible tube is inserted into a blood vessel - found his arteries "fine, without any blockage". Obrador had just returned to public view this week after a week of isolation for his second COVID-19 infection in a year.
