At a press conference, the medical team of the hospital of Natal, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, said the former president will be transferred by helicopter to a medical center in Brasilia to be “closer to the family.”
According to the clinicians, the politician spent “a good night” and his health is stable, having been prescribed antibiotics and the use of a nasogastric probe to feed.
Bolsonaro was in the north of the country as part of a political tour, seeking support for an amnesty project of the ultrascourse convicted in court for participating in the attempted coup d’état that occurred on January 8, 2023, when the headquarters of the three powers were invaded in Brasilia.
In one of these activities, the leader of the Brazilian far right said he was suffering from acute stomach pain and was admitted on Friday in a hospital in the city of Santa Cruz and then transferred by helicopter to a medical center in the city of Natal.
After his admission to the medical center on Friday, the Brazilian far-right leader made a statement on his social networks, saying that he had a “good clinical evolution” and momentarily dismissed the need to undergo surgery.
