Brazil's former President Bolsonaro hospitalized with abdominal pain

The political party of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro says the conservative leader has been hospitalized with abdominal pain while traveling in northeastern Brazil. The pain was related to la stabbing to the abdomen he suffered in September 2018, the press office of his Liberal Party said. Bolsonaro has been in and out of hospitals since the incident at a campaign event before Brazil’s 2018 presidential election. The conservative leader underwent several surgeries during his presidency from 2019-2022. He was admitted Friday to a hospital in Rio Grande do Norte state. He was set to start a trip to promote his party’s right-wing agenda ahead of next year's presidential election, though he is barred from running.
