Health Woes and Legal Battles: Bolsonaro's Ongoing Struggles
Ex-Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized in Brasilia after experiencing intestinal problems. These issues stem from a 2018 stabbing, leading to multiple surgeries. He also faces legal troubles, recently receiving a 27-year prison sentence for a coup attempt post-2022 election loss.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has once again been hospitalized in Brasilia as he battles recurring health issues. His latest visit was prompted by severe hiccups, vomiting, and low blood pressure, symptoms linked to his enduring intestinal problems since a 2018 stabbing during his presidential campaign.
The health crisis comes on the heels of a significant legal setback for Bolsonaro. Just last week, a Supreme Court panel sentenced him to over 27 years in prison, citing his involvement in plotting a coup attempt after failing to secure victory in the 2022 election. This legal storm compounds his current house arrest, which was instituted in August due to accusations of exerting undue pressure on legal institutions, allegedly influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
As Bolsonaro contends with mounting legal and health challenges, he continues to undergo comprehensive medical evaluations, including laboratory tests and removal of skin lesions, demonstrating the ongoing complexity of his condition and legal status.
