(Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro may undergo a new surgery, which would be his fifth since being stabbed while campaigning in 2018, after feeling strong abdominal pain during an event with supporters in northeastern Brazil, he posted on X on Saturday.
Bolsonaro was hospitalized on Friday in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, forcing him to break off a regional tour aimed at drumming up political support. In his post, the former president said it was still unclear if he would be transferred to do the surgery in a hospital in Brasilia, where he lives, or Sao Paulo.
