A relative of former Central governor Hugo Javier González says he fears for his life after the jailed politician suffered an apparent stroke, fell in his cell and was taken to hospital with multiple injuries.

González, who is serving a sentence at the Esperanza Industrial Penitentiary, was first treated at the Trauma Hospital. He was then moved to Barrio Obrero General Hospital before being transferred to the National Hospital of Itauguá for specialized evaluation and treatment.

I do not know whether what happened to him was an accident or a stroke, but they are achieving what they want, which is to destroy him.

· An unidentified relative of Hugo Javier GonzálezThe relative questioned the circumstances of González’s medical emergency.

The relative, who asked not to be identified for security reasons, told ABC Color that people would be pleased because they had achieved their goal of destroying González. “I do not know whether what happened to him was an accident or a stroke, but they are achieving what they want, which is to destroy him,” the relative said.

They cannot be persecuting him like this over money.

· An unidentified relative of Hugo Javier GonzálezThe relative alleged that González faced persecution motivated by financial interests.

The family member also alleged that González had been subjected to persecution motivated by financial interests. “They cannot be persecuting him like this over money,” the relative said. The family member further expressed concern about González’s security during his hospitalization, saying an assassin could be sent to the hospital while he was vulnerable and adding, “Paraguay has become a mafia.”

According to the relative, González had been particularly worried about a second criminal case. The family member said González no longer had legal representation or access to documents and evidence after losing the support of people who had accompanied him in the first case. “I have no lawyers, I have no documents or evidence and I do not know what to do. Everyone responsible is outside,” the relative quoted him as saying.

They will send an assassin there, taking advantage of his weakness at this moment. Paraguay has become a mafia.

Adán Godoy, director of Barrio Obrero General Hospital, said the first indications pointed to a hemorrhagic stroke. The article reports that González remained hospitalized at Itauguá for further assessment and treatment.

I have no lawyers, I have no documents or evidence and I do not know what to do. Everyone responsible is outside.
