Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has been discharged from hospital after spending six days recovering from emergency surgery to drain a haematoma in his brain.
The announcement – made on Sunday by the medical team at the Sírio-Libanês hospital in São Paulo – was interrupted near the end by the president himself, who entered the room walking alongside the first lady, Rosângela da Silva, known as Janja.
