Bolsonaro in hospital as legal drama and protest swirl around Brazil

• A health crisis collides with a heated political battle as Bolsonaro faces new medical concerns and escalating legal pressures.
• Independent reporting notes his hospital visit after a spell of sickness amid ongoing scrutiny from Brazil’s judiciary.
• Supporters push back, packing streets across major cities while critics frame the legal actions as weaponized politics.
• New health updates point to persistent anemia and kidney problems, keeping Bolsonaro hospitalized for an uncertain period.
• Protests and international attention frame the episode as a test of Brazil’s political and legal systems under strain.

Pray for Bolsonaro.

As bad as the ‘witch hunt’ against former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro is, it’s only the second biggest problem he has to face at the moment, since his frail health has considerably worsened in the last few days.

Yesterday night (16), the former President was taken to a hospital in the capital Brasilia after feeling sick.
