This is coming after hours of thousands of his supporters stormed offices of government in the capital of Brazil.
Reports revealed that former president of Brazil, Bolsonaro, was taken to a hospital near Orlando on Monday. He has been suffering abdominal pain after being stabbed in 2018.
Michelle Bolsonaro confirmed that her husband was under observation as a result of discomfort in the abdomen.
According to Reuters, a source close to the family said, Mr. Bolsonaro’s condition was “not worrying”.
About 10 days ago, Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States (US). He declined to be a part of the handover of power to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week.
