Portuguese President Discharged from Hospital

Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has been discharged from the hospital. He was admitted after falling during an event on July 5. The information was reported by the Ria.ru agency.

"I feel good," assured the 74-year-old leader.

The president attributed the incident to a drop in blood pressure. He has previously experienced health issues, having fainted during a visit to Braga (in the north of the country) in 2018 due to low blood pressure. He underwent several surgeries for hernia removals in 2017 and 2021, and in October 2019, he underwent catheterization.

The 74-year-old conservative Rebelo de Sousa has been the President of Portugal since 2016 and is currently serving his second term.
