Álex García Galas, the Biscayan tourist who has been repatriated from Thailand on a military plane, is “stable” in serious condition at the Cruces Hospital in Barakaldo, where he remains admitted to the ICU suffering from acute pancreatitis, according to reports. family sources informed the Efe agency.

Resident in San Sebastián although a native of the Biscayan municipality of Basauri, García Galas landed at the Loiu airport last Sunday on a plane from the Aeroevacuation Medical Unit (Umaer) of the Air Force, to be immediately transferred to the Cruces Hospital, where that same night he was operated on.

His cousin, Rubén Galas, has revealed that after this intervention he has improved a lot and although his condition remains serious, he is still conscious, is cheerful and has his two children constantly on his mind.

He has also highlighted that, in order not to harm his recovery, his family tries to keep him away from the expectation that his move to Spain has generated.

To help the family face the expenses generated by their entry into Thailand, the Basauri El Maño neighborhood association will install a children’s playground on Saturday and, on Sunday, will offer a solidarity paella and a bingo, in which a raffle will be held. an Athletic Bilbao shirt donated by the team’s captain, Iker Muniain.
