Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, whose popularity is at an all-time low, revealed that he often cries "alone in the bathroom" when making difficult decisions.

"How many times have I cried alone in my bathroom at home?"

asked the far-right president on Thursday night in a conference in front of an evangelical public.

"My wife never saw me, she believes that I am the most macho of the macho men. In part I think she is right," he added, causing laughter from the audience.

Taking a more serious tone, Bolsonaro said: "Now it's not like when I was a deputy (...) If I make a bad decision, many people will suffer."

The Brazilian president is experiencing one of the most delicate moments of his mandate, which began in January 2019.

The

approval of his government fell to 22%

, the lowest since he took office amid coronavirus pandemic that has claimed more than 600,000 lives, a dizzying inflation and high unemployment.

Polls show him as the loser to his biggest political adversary, former leftist

president

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in the

presidential elections in October 2022

.

In addition, next week, a Senate commission of inquiry will issue a report incriminating Bolsonaro and various members of his administration for the chaotic handling of the pandemic.
