  • She underwent laparoscopic surgery on Saturday that confirmed appendicitis with localized peritonitis.
  • The clinic set no discharge date and stated she will stay hospitalized until treatment is finished, with some outlets reporting a provisional five‑to‑seven‑day course that could include Christmas.
  • She was transferred from her Constitución residence, where she serves house arrest in the Vialidad case, under judicial authorization and reinforced security.
  • Supporters have maintained a vigil outside the Recoleta hospital as periodic signed medical reports provide the only official updates.
