political figures

Jair Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian president, is receiving treatment in an intensive care unit at DF Star Hospital in Brasilia. He was admitted Friday from prison, where he is serving a 27-year sentence. Initially diagnosed with bronchopneumonia, Bolsonaro’s kidney function has fluctuated, first worsening and then reportedly showing improvement. However, doctors have described his overall medical condition as “serious” and he remains in intensive care. The former far-right leader’s health issues are linked to a 2018 stabbing. He recently endorsed his son to run in this year’s election.
