Brazil and Latin America, Loud and Clear
Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and one of the world’s most pivotal democracies, an important member of the G20 and a founder of the BRICS alliance, as well as being home to 60% of the Amazon rainforest. Yet, despite this, it is too often misunderstood, underreported or drowned out by disinformation.
