The far-right leader, whose persistent health woes are linked to a 2018 stabbing, endorsed his son to run in this year’s election.
Brazilian far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, imprisoned for plotting a coup after he lost the country’s last election, is receiving treatment in an intensive care unit after being hospitalised with bronchopneumonia.
The DF Star hospital in Brasilia said in a statement on Saturday that the 70-year-old was in a stable condition despite being diagnosed with worsening kidney function.
The hospital added that there was no timeline yet for the ex-president’s discharge.
Bolsonaro, who led Brazil from 2019 to 2023, was admitted to the hospital the day before with a high fever, a drop in oxygen saturation, sweating and chills.
The former president, who is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting an alleged coup, has been susceptible to bouts of bronchopneumonia, a condition caused by gastric material being inhaled into the respiratory tract.
