Governor of DF is admitted to hospital with pneumothorax

The governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão (PP), was admitted on Saturday night (30), to a private hospital in the Federal District to treat pneumothorax, which is the presence of air between the layers of the pleura, the internal membrane of the chest.

"I was short of breath, had pain in my lungs. I took a test and it showed pneumothorax. But I'm fine, I'm going to remove it," said the governor on social media.

The GDF press office announced that Celina will be under medical observation.

Celina Leão took charge of the DF after the departure of Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), who announced a pre-candidacy for the Federal Senate.

On Friday (29), in an interview with CNN, Celina said that she will not make an early judgment on the responsibility of her predecessor, Ibaneis, in the crisis involving BRB (Banco de Brasília) with Master.

"The errors, if they happened, if he [Ibaneis] was responsible, I think the criminal process will demonstrate that. It would be very nice of me not to make some kind of advance judgment on responsibility. I think that only the judicial process will demonstrate this", he stated.

Agreement to save BRB
On Thursday (28), the Union and the Government of the Federal District reached an agreement to facilitate a credit operation for BRB, amid the liquidity crisis following the attempt to purchase the liquidated Banco Master.

The negotiations began on Tuesday (26), during a conciliation hearing led by minister Luiz Fux. The proposal provides for a loan to the DF government with resources from the FGC (Credit Guarantee Fund), guaranteed by a syndicate of public and private banks.
