Summary
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is recovering in intensive care after undergoing a successful craniotomy to treat a brain bleed caused by a fall in October.
The 79-year-old underwent surgery at São Paulo’s Sirio Libanês hospital following a Monday MRI that detected an intracranial hemorrhage.
Doctors reported no complications and said Lula is “doing well” under close monitoring.
The injury had previously led him to cancel a BRICS summit trip.
Fuck me.
I don’t like Lula
But if he dies or retires, the Brazilian left has nothing to offer in his place, and it’s pretty much guaranteed Bolsonaro will be president again.
