RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil has decided to suspend its participation in the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, a leftist regional body established by Venezuela, due to its failure to protect democracy, Brazil’s foreign minister said on Thursday.
Writing on his Twitter account, Ernesto Araújo said Brazil was also pulling out because the organization, known as CELAC, had become a “stage” for authoritarian states, citing Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.Appointed by Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, Araújo has echoed the Brazilian leader’s longstanding criticisms of leftist Latin American governments.
Bolsonaro is the most visible right-wing leader in Latin America, while Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is the highest-profile leftist leader. Brazil is the region’s biggest economy, followed by Mexico.
