The president’s office disclosed on Monday that Bolsonaro, 64, had suffered a fall and was taken to a hospital Monday night for a brain scan, which detected no abnormalities. Bolsonaro spent the night in the hospital and was discharged on Tuesday.
“I had partial memory loss. This morning I managed to recover a lot of stuff,” Bolsonaro told the Band TV network Tuesday night. “Now I am fine. I did not know, for instance, what I had done in the previous day.”
Since September 2018, Bolsonaro has undergone four surgeries because of a knife attack he suffered during the election campaign.
Recently, the rightwing president also told journalists he potentially had skin cancer, but a biopsy ruled out the disease.
