SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was recovering in an intensive care unit on Monday after a tricky 12-hour surgery due to recurring intestinal issues since he was stabbed while campaigning in 2018.
The 70-year-old conservative firebrand was awake and doing "very well" in the intensive care unit, where he will remain during a slow recovery, doctors at the DF Star Hospital told journalists. It was his sixth surgery since the 2018 stabbing.
