Lula Stable After Emergency Brain Surgery and Plot Arrests

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva underwent emergency surgery to relieve pressure from an intracranial hemorrhage linked to a fall in October. The 79-year-old leader remains in intensive care at the Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo but is stable and alert, with no brain damage reported. Lula will undergo an additional procedure on Thursday to prevent further bleeding and is expected to be discharged next week. He had to cancel international trips due to the injury but resumed his schedule in mid-November, hosting the G20 summit. Meanwhile, Brazilian authorities recently arrested five individuals allegedly involved in a plot to assassinate Lula and overthrow the government. Lula's recovery continues to be closely monitored due to his influential role in Brazilian politics.
