• Brazil Bolsonaro, successfully operated from a hernia caused by stabbing of 2018

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro could have skin cancer, he explained on Wednesday afternoon after leaving the hospital. The ultra-rightist leader was going to have routine check-ups at the Brasilia Air Force Hospital, but when he returned to the Palacio da Alvorada, his official residence, he appeared before the press with a curative in his left ear.

"There is a possible skin cancer, I had a review; it is not that I ask for it, but many times they summon me and I go," he said when asked by journalists. A few hours before, the Ministry of Communication of the Government informed that the consultation was already scheduled and that the president presents "good health conditions".

Bolsonaro explained that he was anesthetized and that he fell asleep, "so tired he was", and although he said he did not know if he was going to have a biopsy, he himself said that it could be a cancer: "I have clear skin, I caught a lot throughout my life, I really like that activity, so the skin cancer position exists, "he said, implying that he was too exposed to the sun.

The president confirmed that he will continue with his official agenda in the next few days: "For now, Mourão (the vice president, Antônio Hamilton Mourão) continues as vice president," he joked. At the moment, the Brazilian Government did not report when the final results will be known.

The state of health of Bolsonaro worried at the beginning of his mandate, a year ago, almost a year ago, while he was still recovering from the stab he suffered in the abdomen in September 2018, in the middle of the electoral campaign. Since then, he underwent several operations to recover his intestinal transit that kept him away from the presidency on several occasions.
