247 - The Jair Bolsonaro government is expected to formally leave the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), created during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration and which brings together 12 countries in the region, on the 22nd of this month. The end of Unasur will be announced at a meeting convened by the President of Chile, Sebastian Piñera, and a new organization will be created in its place, which is already being informally called Prosul.
Although it is not yet known how many members will join the new mechanism, conceived by Piñera and the Colombian president, Ivan Duque, Prosul has the support of Brazil, the largest economy in the region. According to the Brazilian government, initially there will be a declaration, not an announcement of a finalized agreement on the creation of Prosul.
