“I will be in the presidency tomorrow,” the president said on Sunday.

The impeachment of the president was announced almost as a fact yesterday by surgeon Antonio Macedo, after the president turned out favorably after the intestinal obstruction, which first prompted the evaluation of a surgical intervention.

The 66-year-old president was admitted Wednesday to “treat an intestinal under-obstruction” and “will continue the outpatient follow-up”, indicates the last hospital bulletin.

“The ICC constantly accuses me of being corrupt. I did not buy, I did not pay,” he said in statements to the press for more than half an hour and without wearing mask.

Bolsonaro also defended his former Minister of Health, General Eduardo Pazuello, whose management is severely questioned by the Senate commission of inquiry into the management of the pandemic.

“Do you want to overthrow the government? I have already said that only God will remove me from the presidential chair,” said Bolsonaro, who is running for a second term in the 2022 elections, for which former left-wing president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is the preferred.

Bolsonaro was hospitalized after suffering from severe abdominal pain and an attack of hiccups that had lasted for more than ten days.
