🇪🇨🇧🇷 — Rafael Correa: "Lula's victory totally changes the geopolitical balance in Latin America" - Grupo de Puebla

Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa affirmed that the victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil "totally changes the geopolitical balance" in Latin America, where the four largest economies will be governed by the left, and described the president-elect as a "great integrationist" who will strengthen the regional union.

"I am almost certain that with Lula the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) will be strengthened and UNASUR will be recovered," Correa, 59, told Télam during an interview during his visit to Buenos Aires.

The former Ecuadorian leader (2007-2017) assured that "the world of the future is the world of the bloc" and spoke about the impact of the new progressive wave on Latin American integration and the possibility of launching a common currency, as well as addressing the advance of hate speech in the region.

🗣 "The BRICS are growing and will probably soon represent more than half of the world's GDP, not only because the countries themselves grow, but because they also invited Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria and Argentina.
