For sure! Until recently I didn’t even know it has become some sort of official thing, I always thought that it was just an observation by economists that these 5 countries in particular were “ahead” of the other “developing” countries.

As a Brazilian, I’d rather have Ukraine than Russia in BRICS. Of course EU is certainly more attractive.
Moraes has done some very good stuff and probably saved Brazilian democracy from Bolsonaro, but recently has been caught in some corruption scandal as well.
At least I hope he still has enough political pull to smack Musk a bit.
I agree.
But “Political Spectrum” is bullshit anyway, most of today’s issues don’t fit a one-dimensional left-vs-right line.
Calling the current Brazilian government leftist nowadays is a bit of a stretch.
We might still, if I’m not mistaken there are (or were) at least two countries considering joining. A big one would be Chile, and negotiations have been going for a long time now.

Lula is first and foremost a Mercosul proponent, and Chaves’ and Maduro’s crap got Venezuela kicked out.
I live in Brazil, in the Venezuelan election Sunday there were widespread manifestations from Venezuelan refugees and migrants in many cities here. In front of my city’s Town Hall there was a large group chanting “Fuera Maduro”.
And I only found out recently when other countries started talking about joining.
