Mexico leftist Lopez Obrador is fine after heart trouble sends him to hospital

Mexico leftist Lopez Obrador is fine after heart trouble sends him to hospital
MEXICO CITY Tue Dec 3, 2013 1:19pm EST

(Reuters) - Mexican leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who was runner-up to President Enrique Pena Nieto in last year's presidential election, is fine after being admitted to hospital with a heart condition, his spokesman said on Tuesday.

Lopez Obrador has been leading protests against Pena Nieto's push to open up the state-controlled oil sector, a central plank of the president's wider economic reform drive.

Cesar Yanez, a spokesman for Lopez Obrador, said the 60-year-old former mayor of Mexico City was "fine."
