Brazil’s Bolsonaro leaves hospital, says will be working Monday

Al Jazeera  

Far-right leader was admitted to hospital last week for an intestinal blockage after suffering days of chronic hiccups. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has left the Sao Paulo hospital where he was being treated for an intestinal blockage since last week, saying he would be back at his desk on Monday and was looking forward to eating barbecued ribs. “I’ll be back in the presidency tomorrow,” Bolsonaro told reporters as he left the hospital on Sunday. A COVID-19 sceptic who had dismissed the virus as just “a little flu”, Bolsonaro has defended his policies, saying coronavirus-related shutdowns would harm Brazil’s economy. But the president could face a stiff challenge in next year’s presidential elections, as Brazil’s former left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is expected to run against him – and recent polls have shown Lula could defeat Bolsonaro.
