(Translation)

The prospects on the health of former [Puerto Rico] Governor Carlos Romero Barceló are more encouraging, although he remains in the Intensive Care Unit at Ashford Presbyterian Community Hospital in El Condado, his daughter Melinda Romero Donnelly confirmed.

"Today's prospects on Dad's health are more encouraging. Fortunately, he is breathing much better and with less reliance on oxygen," Romero Donnelly said in a written statement to EL VOCERO.

"He remains in intensive care, stable given his condition. Again, thanks to all who are concerned about his health and I ask that you continue praying so this gladiator may go back home," she concluded.

Eighty-eight year old Romero is a founding member of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party. He served as mayor of the island's capital San Juan from 1969 to 1977, governor from 1977 to 1985, and Resident Commissioner (Puerto Rico's non-voting delegate in Congress) from 1993 to 2001. His daughter's description of him as a "gladiator" is appropriate given his many years as a fighter in Puerto Rico's tumultuous political arena.

“New Progressive Party”

I’ve met maybe 2 Puerto Ricans that are conservative.
The rest just love their gubmit and social programs.

Respiratory issues, but not WuFlu. Daughter says he's doing better.
