📰🔽🇧🇷🤡— One of the world’s most renowned publications, The Economist, highlights a challenging phase for Brazil and its president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In a report titled "Faded Dreams", the magazine describes the country's loss of international influence and Lula’s growing unpopularity at home. The analysis suggests that while the president once projected Brazil onto the global stage, he has failed to adapt to a constantly changing world.

➡️ According to The Economist, Brazil’s foreign policy under Lula’s current administration has been marked by growing incoherence. The country has notably aligned itself with nations such as China and Iran, while distancing itself from the West and the United States.

➡️ Experts point out that as China and Russia increasingly use BRICS to legitimize their foreign policies—and in Russia's case, its war in Ukraine—it becomes harder for Brazil to maintain a non-aligned stance. Seven of the eleven BRICS members are currently ruled by authoritarian regimes.
