Crouch? ....or crutch? Nice one Mercopress!
For those who did not already know - a cueca is a Chilean national dance but it's not clear from the article where that features or how the Governor managed that exercise (with or without his crouch).

¡VIVA CHILE and the FALKLANDS ISLANDS!

¡Saludos cordiales desde Panquehue!

Cueca in portuguese is the words for underpants so maybe he is now able to use underpants instead if a disposable nappy. I am not sure that the brand is newsworthy so that is probably why that is not mentioned.
