Former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro Admitted to Hospital with Abdominal Pain
Brasilia, Brazil – Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has been hospitalized due to intense abdominal discomfort, according to Rogério Marinho, the opposition leader in the Senate. Marinho disclosed the information Friday on social media platform X.
Bolsonaro’s Hospitalization Follows Previous Stab Wound
The right-wing politician, Bolsonaro, who is currently implicated in allegations of plotting a coup against the administration of his successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula), sustained serious injuries in September 2018. During his presidential campaign in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais state, Bolsonaro was stabbed in the abdomen. This incident necessitated multiple surgical procedures in the years following.
Details of Hospital Admission
Marinho accompanied Bolsonaro at a political gathering in Rio Grande do Norte, a north-eastern state. Bolsonaro was initially transported to a municipal medical facility earlier in the day. Subsequently, he was moved via helicopter to a private clinic located in the city of Natal for further medical evaluation and care.
Political Context: 2022 Election and Legal Challenges
Bolsonaro’s hospitalization occurs after his defeat by Lula in the national elections held in October 2022. Furthermore, Bolsonaro is facing ongoing legal challenges.
Coup Plotting Allegations and Potential Imprisonment
In March, Brazil’s Supreme Court authorized the progression of charges against Bolsonaro and seven alleged co-conspirators related to the coup allegations. If found guilty, the former president could potentially face imprisonment for several years.
