Rafael Greca Hospitalized After Campaign Fall in Paraná

Greca’s hospitalization removes him from campaign events, requiring medical monitoring that could complicate the Sandro Alex ticket’s schedule.

CURITIBA PR 09/05/2018 POLITICA Prefeito Rafael Greca afirma que a paz social em Curitiba depende da Justiça. O prefeito Rafael Greca afirmou, neste sábado (28/04), que é preciso que a Justiça atenda o pedido da Procuradoria Geral do Município, que pede a transferência do ex-presidente Luis Inácio Lula da Silva da sede da Polícia Federal em Curitiba. Para o prefeito, a mudança do local é uma das formas de diminuir o acirramento entre os manifestantes que são a favor e contra a prisão de Lula. “A paz social em Curitiba só depende da Justiça”, advertiu Greca.

Overview

  • Greca, a 70-year-old former mayor of Curitiba and vice-gubernatorial candidate, was taken to Hospital Nossa Senhora das Graças in Curitiba after a fall during a campaign event in Maripá.
  • The campaign says the fall produced a hematoma and swelling in his left leg, that he remains in stable condition, and that doctors are conducting exams under the coordination of Dra. Bárbara Moreira.
  • Greca posted a short video saying he was hugged enthusiastically, that people stumbled and they fell onto a bench, and he insisted there was no fracture.
  • The MDB canceled Greca’s remaining campaign commitments and has released only brief medical updates, declining to provide fuller details about how the accident occurred.
  • The incident removes an active running mate from public events and could force short-term campaign changes for the Sandro Alex ticket as staff handle scheduling, medical follow-up, and voter communications.
