El Papa Francisco, de 88 años, se encuentra internado en el hospital Gemelli de Roma debido a una pulmonía bilateral polivacteriana.

Ha descartado renunciar por motivos de salud y mantiene su sentido del humor característico.

00:00In Rome, in the hospital, Gemelli, there you see, up there, the highest part, is the Suite with Pope Francis recovering, it will be tomorrow, a week of his hospitalization.
00:13We understand that, here, but not serious, with a lucid Pope who had breakfast outside his bed, he was able to move to the armchair, to the armchair, as it is said here,
00:24insisting that he is not going to give up for medical reasons, showing and giving blood tests that are encouraging,
00:31within what is a complex picture of a man who, at 21 years old, had lost a third of his lung there in Buenos Aires,
00:38and who may be here, hospitalized for up to three weeks, they say, until he recovers completely.
00:45But they talk about a lucid Pope, making jokes, receiving people from the Vatican, from Italian politics, like Giorgio Meloni yesterday, a little swollen by the corticosteroids,
00:56it is logical, and for the moment, within what is the complex situation, a feeling of relief here.
01:04Well, let's remember that the Pope was diagnosed with a polybacterial bilateral pneumonia,
01:12which, as he had said, and you told him, Cristian, his spokesman, endogenous antibiotics were being supplied to him,
01:19and the last thing is this, which you were also saying, that there is a slight improvement in biochemical analysis, right?
01:27That's right, and that's encouraging.
01:30Within how worrying this is for an 88-year-old man, in such a volatile and fragile state of health,
01:39the truth is that the symptoms today are positive, a Pope who does not need oxygen to breathe,
01:46who has even appointed a bishop today, therefore that speaks of an active Pope, signing documents,
01:53receiving people, making jokes, mocking, as the Italians themselves say,
01:59therefore, in principle, within what was presented until yesterday, there is a certain improvement in the condition of Pope Francis.
02:10Well, the spokesman is probably the newspaper that deals the most with the Vatican issues,
02:14and yesterday I read this that you mentioned, Cristian, the abdication does not appear on the horizon of Pope Francis.
02:21No, he will not give up for health reasons, it has been sharp in the intimacy here of the Gemelli Hospital,
02:28the Pope's hospital, that is, several Popes have passed through here,
02:32we are more or less 10 kilometers from what is the Vatican in northwestern Rome,
02:37and the Pope insists, in a lucid way, and the most active he can be in that he will not give up for health reasons,
02:45saying that, a comment that he made to Giorgia Meloni, that health has to be taken care of,
02:51or else he will go to paradise, joking.
02:58We understand for reasons of his condition with corticosteroids, which create a certain swelling,
03:03so as not to worry the Vatican, trying to combat fake news and misinformation,
03:08and even the Pope himself told Giorgia Meloni, from our sources,
03:12that there are people who want to see him in paradise, but that he does not feel ready,
03:18but that he feels vital and ready to go back to work.
03:21Of course, with an agenda loaded, all activities suspended for the next few days,
03:26and a certain feeling of relief that the results of the blood tests are encouraging,
03:33and that mark a reduction in lung infection.
03:37Tell us, to say goodbye, Cristian, what do you feel in the popular?
03:43There were many discussions about whether Francisco was a popular Pope in Italy.
03:48Remember that from Juan Pablo II the tradition was cut off that the Popes were always Italian.
03:54Then Benedict came, who was German, and now Francisco, who is Argentine.
03:58How many comments are there, and what kind, in the Middle Roman?
04:03Well, I think we have images. The world press is here.
04:07All Europeans, Brazilians, Catholic and non-Catholic communities,
04:12and really yes, of course, since the German Pope,
04:17Tedesco, as the Italians call him, a little colder, with another personality,
04:22to the cultural closeness they have with Argentina.
04:25The Romans, the Italians, love Francisco, appreciate him,
04:29and they are following this very closely.
04:32He has already shown, in more than one opportunity,
04:35a closeness with the Italians, fantastic, cultural, idiomatic,
04:39and that has made him a very popular Pope among the Italians.
04:45But I insist, the world press, gathered here at the Gemelli Hospital,
04:49here we are with A24, we will be 24 hours, Luis.
04:52We tell everyone not to say goodbye on our screen,
04:55because we are going to follow the Pope's recovery, minute by minute.
04:59Well, yes, to say goodbye, a change of look,
05:02because Rome is much more friendly in the climate than where you come from, right?
05:10We went from 3 degrees below zero to 14 degrees.
05:13Much more benevolent, the Roman weather.
05:16Yes.
05:17The weather, but, well, with concern, right?
05:20But yes, really another temperature than in southern Europe.
