Reports from the spokesman for the former Vice President of the nation, Jacobo Majluta, who is in an intensive care unit at the Muffet Cancer Center of Tampa, Florida, indicates that his condition is stable, although serious. Mr Majluta is said to be suffering from a reaction to chemotherapy administered for the lung cancer he has contracted after years of chain-smoking. He left the country last October for treatment. Latest press reports indicate that the 61 year old politician is now able to eat some food.
