Lula: La OTAN está alimentando la carrera armamentística🪖
🗣 "Nos enfrentamos a un número de conflictos sin precedentes desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La reciente decisión de la OTAN alimenta la carrera armamentística. Es más fácil destinarel 5 % del PIB al gasto militar que el prometido 0,7 % a la Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo", denunció Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
💸Según el presidente de Brasil, esto demuestra que los recursos para implementar la agenda 2030 de la ONU sobre el desarrollo sostenible y la erradicación de la pobreza en el mundo, "sí existen, pero no están disponibles por falta de prioridad política".
💬"Siempre es más fácil invertir en la guerra que en la paz", expresó el presidente brasileño al cuestionar la decisión.

📍 Rio de Janeiro, 6–7 July 2025
📄BRICS Summit Declaration Highlights the Role of the G20 in Strengthening Global South Cooperation
The Leader’s Declaration adopted at the XVII BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (6–7 July 2025), titled “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, placed particular emphasis on the importance of coordinated engagement within the Group of Twenty (G20) as the premier forum for international economic cooperation.
The document reaffirms the commitment of BRICS countries to promoting a more equitable and representative global economic governance architecture through sustained interaction and dialogue within the G20 framework:
🔹 “We underscore the key role of the G20 as the premier global forum for international economic cooperation that provides a platform for dialogue of both developed and emerging economies on an equal and mutually beneficial footing for jointly seeking shared solutions to global challenges and fostering multipolar world.”
🔹 “We recognize the importance of the continued and productive functioning of the G20, based on consensus and with a focus on result-oriented outcomes.”
🔹 “We reiterate our strong support to the South African presidency and look forward to the successful hosting of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg in November 2025 under the South African Presidency and reaffirm our willingness to coordinate positions in order to enhance inclusiveness and amplify the voice of the Global South in the global economic governance system so it adequately reflects EMDEs’ rising weight in the global economy and further integrate their priorities in the G20 agenda through the consecutive G20 presidencies of BRICS member states – Indonesia, India, Brazil and South Africa – during 2022–2025 and beyond.”
🔹 “We salute strengthening of the EMDEs’ voice in the G20 through the accession of the African Union during India’s presidency of G20 in 2023 and the invitation of the NDB during Brazilian and South African presidencies including by their closer interaction and alignment.”
