Brazil's stances on Venezuela and World Trade Organization reform are creating a rift among Brics countries (India, China, Russia, South Africa, Brazil) and it might threaten the group's meeting in Brasília on November 13 and 14.
When it comes to Venezuela, it's 4 to 1 with Brazil on the losing end: China, Russia, South Africa, and India oppose the position of Brazil, which has aligned itself with the United States.
Contrary to Brazil, none of these four countries recognize the government declared by interim president Juan Guaidó. All of them oppose any extreme intervention.
"The Brics have always been an arranged marriage, in which the countries had nothing in common, but they tried to make it work," said ambassador Rengaraj Viswanathan, ex-director of Latin America in India's Ministry of Foreign Relations.
