Bolsonaro showed the scar to silence speculation

To deny speculation about a supposed badembly, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro lifted his jacket and shirt to show his naked abdomen and the knife scar that he received during the 2018 election campaign, by contrast. He said he was concerned about the return of Cristina Kirchner to power in Argentina.

"Some say it was a fake knife," said the president while showing the veracity of the attack with traces of surgical procedures due to the knife wound received Sept. 6 from Last year. He ended the remarks of his political opponents, who had speculated on a simulated attack that he would have benefited in the presidential dispute. "I have lived a difficult day in my life, I have been saved by a miracle, thank you for your prayers," he recalls.

But the Brazilian is another thing that worries him: Argentina. "More important than Venezuela at the moment, it is Argentina, which is two steps away – on the occasion of the presidential elections in October – to see Mrs Cristina Kirchner return, who would be another Venezuela, "he said.
