Professor Ana Garcia took part in a report for TV Cultura to talk about the BRICS summit in Kazan. She noted that, in the current scenario, bringing Venezuela into the BRICS does not represent any advantage for Brazil as a South American leader.

In addition, as mentioned in the report, the BRICS is increasingly seen as an “anti-Western” bloc. “Today, there is no doubt that BRICS is establishing itself as an alliance with greater geopolitical weight; it doesn’t just want to reform global governance, but to create new institutions and alliances,” explained Ana.
