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.

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 against the presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court in Brasilia, for which he denied all responsibility.

Jair Bolsonaro, 67, has serious consequences from the stabbing that nearly cost him his life in September 2018, just before his election as president.

Occlusions, subocclusions or intestinal adhesions: he has been hospitalized in emergency half a dozen times and reoperated six times since the end of 2018.
