Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro tweeted a photo of himself in a Florida hospital bed after being admitted yesterday with “severe abdominal pains”. It was a brief visit – he was discharged after receiving treatment for complications from a stab wound he received during the 2018 election campaign. It comes a week after the country’s new leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in and a day after thousands of Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed government buildings in Brazil’s capital, destroying property, including several historically significant works of art. Bolsonaro – who didn’t concede defeat after October’s tight election – has rejected claims he fuelled the riots. In response, protesters in the country’s largest cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo yesterday joined pro-democracy rallies calling for Bolsonaro to be jailed.
