The HSE called the victory of Lula da Silva in the presidential elections in Brazil "good news" for the development of BRICS. The head of state will continue to invest in the association and promote its ideas. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with the radio station "Moscow Speaks" by Alexander Korolev, deputy director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University. Basically, it will have no positive or negative impact on relations with BRICS and the Russian Federation; Everything will remain in the same model, as it was before the re-election of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. But from the perspective of BRICS development and investing in Brazil in a broader sense, meaning investing your time, attention and money, this is good news. If Flavio Bolsonaro had become president, then, most likely, Brazil would not have left BRICS, but its intention to develop the association would have been significantly less. For us, this is generally a good sign: it means that Brazil will again actively try to promote the discourse of the Global South, engage in the development of a new BRICS bank, and more attention will be given to the sustainable development and climate agenda.
