Korybko: Brazil’s Veto Of Venezuela’s BRICS Bid Exposes Multipolar Rift<\/span><\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s ruling Workers\u2019 Party (PT per its Portuguese abbreviation) has presented itself as an Ibero-American champion of multipolarity since its inception, as has its leader President Lula since his first term began in 2003, but these narratives are now challenged like never before after last week. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Brasil de Fato cited diplomatic sources to report that Brazil\u00a0vetoed<\/a>\u00a0Venezuela\u2019s BRICS partnership request while Putin also\u00a0acknowledged<\/a>\u00a0during a press conference that Russia and Brazil disagree on Venezuela.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This outcome was made all the more scandalous by Lula\u2019s unexpected \u201chead injury<\/a>\u201d that was allegedly responsible for him not flying to Kazan and Venezuelan President Maduro\u2019s\u00a0surprise visit<\/a>\u00a0to the event. <\/strong>Lula might have either made-up his injury or exaggerated it in order not to embarrass himself any further by arguing in person against his multipolar neighbor\u2019s requested BRICS partnership. He might also have caught wind of Maduro\u2019s plans and thus ducked out in order to avoid a potential confrontation there.<\/p>\n

In any case, one of the world\u2019s top energy producers wasn\u2019t able to achieve the consensual support required for partnering with the world\u2019s top financial multipolarity platform, though this analysis\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0from last month explains how non-members and -partners can still coordinate their associated policies with BRICS. Be that as it may, it was still a blow to Venezuela\u2019s prestige not to be inaugurated as an official partner, but Lula\u2019s PT harmed its own reputation in a much worse way by reportedly vetoing this.<\/p>\n

Keeping in mind the abovementioned insight about how any country can voluntarily coordinate its associated policies with BRICS even in the absence of formal membership or partnership status, Brazil could have let Venezuela join in order to keep up the PT\u2019s charade about being a multipolar champion. Instead, it maliciously prevented this,<\/strong> which only served to virtue signal support for the US\u2019 ruling Democrats\u2019 shared policy towards that country at the expense of the trust that Brazil built within BRICS.<\/p>\n

It was explained in August how \u201cOrtega\u2019s Condemnation Of Lula\u2019s Meddling In Venezuela Debunks A Top Alt-Media Lie<\/a>\u201d, which hyperlinked at the end to a list of over 50 related analyses from October 2022 till then about Lula\u2019s post-imprisonment ideological alignment with that aforesaid imperialist party. In brief, he and his party were never true multipolar champions like they presented themselves as, but were always more akin to \u201csocial democrats\u201d or what\u2019s been called the \u201ccompatible left<\/a>\u201d by traditional leftists.<\/p>\n

All the while, however, the PT\u2019s social media influencers and cultish clique of supporters across the world aggressively gatekept the false narrative that their \u201cheroes\u201d pushed. This most often took the form of viciously \u201ccanceling\u201d anyone who dared to even remotely question this debunked dogma. This charade was thus kept up until last week when it became impossible to deny that Lula\u2019s PT had betrayed regional multipolar leader Venezuela solely to curry favor from what might soon be the US\u2019 outgoing ruling party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There shouldn\u2019t be any question about the veracity of Brasil de Fato\u2019s diplomatic sources either after Venezuela\u2019s Foreign Ministry came out with an\u00a0official statement<\/a>\u00a0slamming Lula\u2019s veto. They described it as an \u201cimmoral aggression\u201d that \u201creproduce[ed] the hatred, exclusion and intolerance promoted from the centres of power in the West.\u201d They then added that \u201cThe Venezuelan people feel indignation and shame\u201d after what Lula just did. These are very strong words that should be taken very seriously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Readers should also know that while Lula hasn\u2019t acknowledged Maduro\u2019s re-election, Putin proudly thundered during last week\u2019s event that \u201cVenezuela is fighting for its independence, for its sovereignty\u2026We believe that President Maduro won the elections, won fairly. He formed a government.\u201d His words threw the PT onto the horns of yet another narrative dilemma by suggesting that Brazil\u2019s stance is against another fellow Global South country\u2019s \u201cindependence\u201d and \u201csovereignty\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Venezuelan Question is therefore a black-and-white issue<\/strong>: one either supports Lula and Biden\u2019s regime change efforts in Venezuela, with each advancing this in their own but still coordinated way, or they support Maduro and Putin\u2019s defense of Venezuela\u2019s independence and sovereignty. <\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no middle ground no matter what lies top PT influencers might soon spew. <\/strong>Honest members from the\u00a0Alt-Media Community<\/a>\u00a0will accurately report this while dishonest ones will\u00a0keep covering up<\/a>\u00a0for the PT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
