"I think he's an honest man ... This is really a political execution that they're trying to do with Bolsonaro."

"Bolsonaro will not be criminally convicted, but he will be declared ineligible."

"The guilty verdict has already been established and written. Bolsonaro does not stand a chance."

"Bolsonaro will be convicted."

Will Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro Be Found Guilty in the Coup Trial Case?

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro spent the night in the hospital on Tuesday after experiencing dizziness and vomiting — and a hiccupping fit that caused him to stop breathing for 10 seconds, according to his son Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro. He was discharged on Wednesday.

A medical report released on Wednesday said that Bolsonaro arrived at the ER dehydrated, with a high heart rate and low blood pressure. He underwent medical tests, including a cranial MRI, which revealed persistent anemia and altered kidney function with high creatinine levels.

This is the second time that Bolsonaro was admitted to the DF Star Hospital in Brasília in less than a week, following a one-day visit on Sunday to remove eight skin lesions and send them for biopsies. Over the weekend, his doctor said that the former president had developed iron-deficiency anemia.

His medical team confirmed on Wednesday that tests found the presence of squamous cell carcinoma in two of his skin lesions, meaning that Bolsonaro will need routine check-ups to ensure no new lesions appear and that the removals were complete.

The 70-year-old Brazilian right-wing leader has been under house arrest since early August and was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of planning a coup. He has been hospitalized multiple times since a near-fatal stabbing at a campaign rally in 2018.

Meanwhile, a federal appeals court overturned a lower court ruling and ordered Bolsonaro to pay 1 million Brazilian reais, or more than $185,000, in collective moral damages for "recreational racism" related to jokes directed at a Black supporter, who condemned the ruling.

The convenient timing of Bolsonaro's health episodes right after his coup conviction raises serious questions about whether this is a calculated strategy to avoid prison time and gain public sympathy. Political opponents rightfully suspect these hospital visits as theatrical attempts to manipulate the justice system, especially when his allies openly admit they plan to use health arguments to keep him out of prison.

Bolsonaro's deteriorating health condition clearly demonstrates the risks of forcing an elderly man with serious medical complications into prison. His fragile state, including skin cancer, persistent anemia and kidney problems, justifies maintaining house arrest rather than transferring him to dangerous prison facilities where proper medical care cannot be guaranteed. Political persecution is literally making him sick.

There's a 50% chance that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be reelected as Brazil's president in October 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
