New health concerns.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized in Orlando, Florida (southeast of the United States), suffering from severe abdominal pain, several media announced on Monday, before his wife confirmed the information.
He "is under observation" for "abdominal problems," said his wife Michelle.
The former far-right head of state had left Brazil two days before the end of his mandate, shunning the investiture ceremony of his left-wing successor, Lula, to go to the property of a former champion of martial arts, José Aldo, in Orlando.
Jair Bolsonaro was admitted to the AdventHealth Celebration hospital with "severe abdominal pain", the daily O Globo reported, the day after a violent assault by his supporters on the presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court in Brasilia , for which he denied any responsibility.
The 67-year-old politician has serious consequences from the stabbing that almost cost him his life in September 2018, just before his election as president.
Obstructions, sub-occlusions or intestinal adhesions: he has been hospitalized in emergency half a dozen times and reoperated six times since the end of 2018.
