He announced it in a brief appearance before the media, after he was discharged from hospital this Sunday, Lambán explained that last week he was diagnosed with colon cancer and that he will begin to be treated at the Miguel Servet Hospital the next days.

However, it has indicated that, "despite this, the Government of Aragon and its president at the helm will continue to fight the pandemic" of the coronavirus. Lambán has assured that he will face the disease "continuing with his ordinary activity" and added that he does it like many other people.

Addressing journalists, he said: "I know that I have the respect of all of you and I thank you and I want you to know that you have my respect."

And he added: "There are issues that I would very much like to talk about, but mixing them with my colon cancer does not seem appropriate at this time."
