BRASILIA – Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is currently in the intensive care unit at DF Star Hospital following a complex surgery, according to a medical statement released on Tuesday. The medical note mentioned that Bolsonaro, 70, remains stable with no pain, bleeding, or other complications. He recently underwent surgery for an intestinal obstruction and is now focusing on his recovery. In an Instagram post, Bolsonaro mentioned that he will only communicate with his family and medical team at this time to avoid any potential setbacks in his recovery. This marks his sixth operation stemming from a stab wound he sustained in 2018. There is no specified timeline for his release from intensive care as per his medical team. Bolsonaro was admitted to the hospital last Friday due to severe abdominal pains that interrupted his regional tour to garner support ahead of a Supreme Court trial.
