Discharge was anticipated and the president went to Alvorada

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was discharged, this Sunday (1st), from Hospital Sírio-Libanês, in Brasília, after undergoing restoration surgery on the right side of his hip, on Friday (29th).

Initially, his departure from the hospital was scheduled for Monday (2) or Tuesday (3), but the team accompanying the president informed, in a medical bulletin released this Sunday afternoon, that, after good clinical evolution, he decided to leave the hospital. .

The president left the unit without speaking to the press, and the car transporting him continued to the Palácio do Alvorada. At the official residence of the Presidency of the Republic, Lula will discuss matters relating to the Presidency of the Republic over the next three weeks, such as the decision on the name of the new minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), replacing retired minister Rosa Weber, and the new Attorney General of the Republic, who will fill the vacancy left by Attorney Augusto Aras.

According to the medical team, at Alvorada, Lula will continue with outpatient rehabilitation exercises for the operated hip and physiotherapy sessions.

In addition to surgery to restore the right part of his hip, the president underwent blepharoplasty on Friday, plastic surgery to remove excess skin from his eyelids.

This Sunday morning, the first lady, sociologist Rosângela Lula da Silva, known as Janja, posted on social media about President Lula’s discharge. “There’s someone who’s coming home for dinner today!”

Acknowledgment

Upon arriving at Palácio da Alvorada, the president published on the social network X (formerly Twitter) a thank you for the prayers and all the messages of affection received after the surgery. Lula reported that she is recovering “to work even harder for Brazil” and jokes that she will be able to run a marathon.

I was discharged and I’m already at Palácio da Alvorada, where I’ll be working in the next few weeks. Thank you for the prayers and all the messages of affection. I’m recovering to work even harder for Brazil and run a marathon.
