Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) said on Monday (15) that the health of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), lives a delicate moment. In live broadcast alongside Senator Magno Malta (PL-ES), he described recurring symptoms, commented on the result of recent exams and asked for prayers.
According to the parliamentarian, Bolsonaro faces difficulty feeding, presented iron deficiency and has been suffering from vomiting and sob seizures. There is also a suspicion of a new abdominal hernia in the early stages of diagnosis. “I don’t know how he can handle it, he’s agonizing,” said Carlos.
The councilman also said that the surgery performed on Sunday (14), which involved the removal of skin lesions, was considered delicate. He mentioned that doctors do not rule out the cancer hypothesis, but stressed that confirmation depends on new analysis.
Carlos reported that their children have been turned to accompany their father and stressed that former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro, with whom she had public friction, has been fully dedicated to the former president’s care. “She’s been a warrior,” he said.
Health
Bolsonaro underwent laboratory and image exams over the weekend, which should guide the definition of the next steps of treatment. The deterioration of Bolsonaro’s clinical picture has the potential to influence the political scenario to the right and the possible compliance with the sentence by coup d’état.
If gravity is confirmed, any physical limitation can accelerate the dispute for leadership between its political and allies, at a time when opposition seeks to reorganize its strategy to 2026.

In addition, suspicions of the aggravation may justify a request for the former president, imposed by the Federal Supreme Court, under house arrest.
