Bolsonaro Attends Celebrity Football Game Hours after Leaving Hospital

Jan.6.2022 3:09PM

President has been hospital for intestinal obstruction since Monday

On the same day he left the hospital after being hospitalized for an intestinal obstruction, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) went to Buriti Alegre (GO) to watch a charity football game played by country singers. The event "Friends of the Marrone against hunger" was a match between athletes, singers and other celebrities. Marrone leads one of the teams. Initially, the second team would belong to Gusttavo Lima. However, the singer was diagnosed with Covid and that he will not participate.

Bolsonaro had been hospitalized since the early hours of Monday (3). The president's doctor attributed the intestinal obstruction to unchewed shrimp. In a press conference after hospital discharge, the president denied having been victimized by his health status and said it was mean to say he was on vacation.

(You may remember Bolsonaro was whisked away to the hospital prior to his other Presidential election, just as he was when they claimed his intestinal obstruction several days ago was a result of the "stabbing attack" upon him prior to the last Presidential campaign.)
