Carlos Bolsonaro reports improvement in Jair Bolsonaro's health

Senator-elect Carlos Bolsonaro reported on Wednesday that his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, appeared to be in better health during a visit. In a video shared on social media, Carlos described seeing a “strong man” who appeared different from previous visits and was no longer experiencing hiccups.

The update comes while Jair Bolsonaro is under house arrest. Carlos attributed the perceived improvement to the sense of security following his brother Flávio Bolsonaro’s departure to the United States.

While the video provided a personal update, it did not include official medical reports, examinations, or specific details regarding ongoing treatments. Jair Bolsonaro has a documented medical history involving multiple abdominal surgeries following a 2018 stabbing incident.
