JAKARTA - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is hospitalized in Florida, United States with intestinal discomfort from a stab wound he suffered during the 2018 election campaign, his wife Michelle Bolsonaro said Monday on Instagram.
In Brazil, Dr. Antonio Luiz Macedo, who has been caring for Bolsonaro since the stabbing, said he had intestinal subocclusion, or blockage, but would not likely need surgery.
"This is not a serious case," he told Reuters, as reported by January 10.
Earlier, a source close to his family said Bolsonaro's condition was "not concerning".
Meanwhile, Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported a day earlier that former President Bolsonaro had been suffering from stomach pains.
Bolsonaro has undergone six operations since his stabbing, four of which were directly related to the attack.
He also had cases of intestinal adhesions and intestinal obstruction in recent years.
Separately, Bolsonaro's supporters on Sunday launched their worst attack on state institutions since the country's return to democracy in the 1980s in the Brazilian capital.

His successor as president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who took office on January 1, blamed Bolsonaro for the campaign of unfounded accusations of election fraud, sparking the stampede.
Meanwhile, Bolsonaro, who flew to Florida 48 hours before his term ended, denied the allegations. He said on Twitter the peaceful demonstration was democratic but the invasion of government buildings "crossed the line."
