Havana, August 23 (RHC)--  Argentina's former president and  current vice presidential Cristina Fernandez is back in Cuba to visit her daughter Florencia Kirchner, who is hospitalized since last March at the Center for Surgical Medical Research (CIMEQ) with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

After the authorization by the Federal Court which carries out a trial for alleged irregularities in public works during her term, the candidate to vice-presidency for the political coalition ¨Frente de Todos¨ will stay in Havana until next August 30, according to Prensa Latina news agency.

This is the fourth trip to Cuba of the former president, who has denounced the suffering caused on her daughter by the harassment she has been subjected to, which has included an accusation of illegal association, which has broken her physical state.

Florencia, 28, arrived in Cuba early last March for a course at the San Antonio de los Baños International Film School, but could not return to her country due to health problems.

At CIMEQ, she was diagnosed as having PTSD and other causes such as purpuric syndrome (purpura) under study, sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy of unknown etiology, amenorrhea, underweight and slight lymphedema of lower limbs of unspecified etiology.
