Alessandro Di Battista remains sedated in intensive care in Cuba after doctors said his emergency operation was successful.
We are waiting to see how events develop. We will see what happens at the end of the sedation period.
The former Italian lawmaker underwent surgery on Friday, shortly before a scheduled flight back to Italy. Medical sources said the procedure succeeded, an important development given the seriousness of his condition. As is customary after an operation of this scale, he will remain sedated for at least a couple of days.
Some of the health indicators being monitored in recent hours have reportedly returned readings within the normal range. People close to Di Battistaโs political movement, Schierarsi, have responded with cautious optimism, while stressing that the situation remains delicate.
There must be no rushing ahead, however: we urge everyone to be cautious. This is a delicate phase.
Associates say it is too early to discuss what will happen in the coming weeks. Di Battista could remain in Cuba for another four weeks, or up to 30 days after the operation, making a quick return to Rome unlikely. Friends and supporters have also called for discretion and respect for his privacy.
