> At the same time, the aforementioned party gave billions of dollars in infrastructure projects throughout Latin America bolivarian states, that without a doubt won't make returns in any way.

First and foremost, the money went to Brazilian companies that built that infrastructure.

Second, it was a loan that has to be paid back by those governments.

Third, the loan is covered by insurance.

In every loan that got investigated, the money seems to have gone into corrupt politicians pockets, both inside and outside of Brazil.

Not only this, but even if the money comes back anyhow (and I am casting doubt on it, never heard of any insurances) all the international influence built will be lost, because it was done specifically for the parties of some countries supporting tyrants.

There was no plan for Brazilian international relevance, but a plan for colluded political parties, to disintegrate nationalities.
