() — Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is hospitalized in Florida, told Brazil on Monday night that he intends to return to the Latin American country.
Bolsonaro, who traveled to Florida two days before Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s inauguration, was admitted to an Orlando-area hospital Sunday night due to abdominal discomfort related to injuries from a knife attack in 2018 and said he will be in the hospital “for the next few days.”
“This is my third hospitalization for a severe intestinal obstruction. I came to spend time outside with family. But I did not have calm days. First there was this unfortunate episode yesterday [domingo] in Brazil and then my admission to the hospital,” he told Brazil, referring to the invasion of Brazilian federal government buildings by his supporters.
“Came [a Estados Unidos] to stay until the end of the month [enero], but I intend to advance my return. Because in Brazil the doctors already know about my problem of intestinal obstruction due to the stab wound. Here, the doctors did not accompany me,” Bolsonaro said.
