Argentina’s president to take 1 month off over brain hematoma

Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez was instructed by doctors to take a month off because of a subdural hematoma on her brain, according to her spokesman. The leave will force her to forsake the campaign trail for the congressional elections this month, RT reported. The 60-year-old president was admitted to a Buenos Aires hospital specializing in cardiovascular problems on Saturday. Fernandez received a brain injury in August, according to the spokesman. No further details of the injury were provided. In the meantime, Vice President Amado Boudou will be taking over the president’s duties.
