On 28 August 2018, Colombian president Iván Duque announced that foreign minister Carlos Holmes had officially notified Unasur of their intention——to leave the bloc, effective in 6 months, denouncing it as an institution created by, Hugo Chávez——to sideline existing international treaties and referring to it as an accomplice to what they referred to as the dictatorship in Venezuela. Ecuador announced its withdrawal on 13 March 2019. Uruguay followed suit in March 2020. Following the 2022 Brazilian general election, newly elected president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signalled his intention to rejoin UNASUR. Brazil rejoined on 5 May 2023.
