In response to the questions about who is in charge of the government now that he is the hospital, Peña Nieto responded "The President. I am not handicapped or disabled, I have no disabilities. I am at the forefront of these activities.
"I am in a normal convalescence process after a surgery that is commonplace, but I am aware of what is happening in Mexico and other places," he said.
The President will remain in the Central Military Hospital for 24 to 48 hours, according to the doctors in charge of the operation.
