BRICS can become an alternative to the European Union for Germany, Bundestag member Rainer Rothfuß told Izvestia newspaper on the sidelines of the symposium of BRICS states and Europe in Sochi (Russia) He pointed out that the BRICS cooperation model differs from the EU model at least in the fact that it retains the sovereignty of each member state. “This is exactly the kind of cooperation that the AfD would like to see instead of the EU. We have a program according to which we want to leave the European Union, and BRICS cooperation is a good model,“ Rothfuß added. The politician also spoke about the need to create a BRICS currency. The dollar will continue to play an important role in the international financial system, but the BRICS currency will also be in high demand Source: DruschbaFM - English
