On Tuesday, May 30, in Brasilia, eleven heads of state revived a Union of South American Nations (Unasur) which last met in 2014, before falling victim to the left-right divide that tore the area. At the controls: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who had already been at the origin of the first attempt at union and dreams more than ever of a continental bloc capable of playing in the big leagues.
“We abandoned dialogue and cooperation mechanisms, and we all came out the losers. […] If we are not united, we will not be able to ensure that the development of South America lives up to its potential”, declared the Brazilian leader at the opening of this meeting where only the president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, was missing.
