BRICS Leads World, When Europe Understands This It Will Be Too Late for Change: French Politician

BRICS economies show resilience thanks to balanced policies, and the share of the BRICS countries in the global economy in terms of purchasing power parity will confidently exceed that of the G7 countries by the end of 2024, Russia's president said at an expanded meeting of the BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan.

The BRICS countries dominate the world; for instance, the world's leading manufacturing country China is one of the pillars of the BRICS, host of the Fréquence Populaire Média news outlet Pedro Guanaes Netto told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.
"The West is declining," he said.
European authorities decided to reduce the industry in their countries because it pollutes and to move the manufacturing elsewhere; however, the reality is that Europe is now in decline, Kuzmanovic noted.

"It's a bit like the logic of the naked king. The castle is taking on water; there is no one left; there are no more subjects, but we think we are still kings. It's this feeling of superiority. The day we see that in fact there are no more subjects, that the castle has a huge hole, it will be too late," the politician explained.
