Bolsonaro wants to return to Brazil from the US First grader deliberately shot teacher: gun belongs to boy’s mother

“I have come to stay until the end of the month, but I intend to bring forward my return,” Bolsonaro told CNN Brasil after his release from a US hospital on Tuesday (local time). In Brazil, a commission of inquiry could be set up into the actions of his supporters, according to a statement from the Brazilian senate.

Bolsonaro was admitted to a US hospital earlier this week because of severe abdominal pain. Two days before the end of his term on New Year’s Eve, Bolsonaro flew his family to the United States, where he has resided in Florida ever since. The US State Department declined to comment on Bolsonaro’s residency status in the United States. However, according to the US government, it had not received an extradition request against the former head of state.

On Sunday, Bolsonaro supporters stormed Congress, the seat of government and the Supreme Court in Brasília, wreaking havoc. Bolsonaro’s successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva accused Bolsonaro of inciting his supporters. The former president denied the allegations.

The scenes in Brasília are reminiscent of the riots at the seat of the US Congress in Washington on January 6, 2021. At that time, supporters of incumbent US President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, where the Republican’s election defeat to Joe Biden took place. to be officially authenticated. (sda/dpa)
