Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized with severe pain. The day before, his supporters destroyed the presidential palace

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been hospitalized in the United States, according to the Brazilian TV channel Globo.

According to him, Bolsonaro is in the AdventHealth Celebration Hospital in Orlando, Florida. He was hospitalized due to severe abdominal pain.

Globo suggested that the problems of the former president are connected with the fact that in 2018 he was attacked with a knife. According to the TV channel, in January, March and November 2022, he was already hospitalized due to the same problem.

In 2018, Jair Bolsonaro was attacked with a knife during an election campaign. He was wounded in the stomach, damaging the intestines. After that, Bolsonaro underwent several operations, some of which were not related to the attack.

On January 8, 2023, a week after the inauguration of the new President of Brazil, who became Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, who lost the election, broke into the presidential palace in Brasilia, the country's capital. Thousands of protesters clashed with police, breaking through barriers at government buildings. More than 400 people were detained.
