President Jair Bolsonaro, 20 March 2026

I confess that, for some reason, today was one of the most difficult days when visiting President Jair Bolsonaro.

Upon entering the room, I came upon that strong man "passed out" in the chair, head bowed, sobbing as he slept. I had to step back. I stayed a few minutes in silence, outside, trying to compose myself, before entering again.

When I returned, he was still the same. I approached, stroked his head, and he didn't even react. They explained to me that, due to the strong medications, his sensitivity is even more heightened. He even wears a bracelet with the indication: "FALL RISK".

When he woke up, I chose not to say anything about what's happening out here. I just commented, lightly, on Augusto Nunes' new look, which drew a "shock" from him upon waking.

My father remains in the semi-intensive unit, with a weak voice, drowsy from the medications, and he complained of weakened breathing, certainly due to the third consecutive pneumonia after his illegal imprisonment. I witnessed the collection of more than five vials of blood for tests.

I did my part, with humility. He told me he appreciated my presence and that I would return tomorrow.

I leave the hospital devastated, more than I honestly expected to be.

But we carry on. Tomorrow is another day.
