Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized in Orlando, Florida (southeastern United States) with severe abdominal pain, various media announced Monday, without citing a source.
The far-right former head of state had left Brazil two days before the end of his term, avoiding the inauguration ceremony of his left-wing successor, Lula, to go to the property of a former martial arts champion, José Aldo, in Orlando.

Bolsonaro was admitted to the AdventHealth Celebration hospital with “severe abdominal pain,” the newspaper O Globo reported, the day after a violent assault by his supporters on the presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court in Brasilia, for which he denied any responsibility.
Jair Bolsonaro, 67, has serious consequences for the stabbing that almost cost him his life in September 2018, just before his election as president.
Intestinal obstructions, subocclusions or adhesions: he has been urgently hospitalized half a dozen times and re-operated six times since the end of 2018.
