53% : Without naming names, Petro points his finger at the United States for its insistence to act unilaterally and therein calls on the members of the EU-CELAC summit to "tell the world that coming together, that dialogue among many, that a global democracy and a free humanity are possible today even as barbarism advances and kills people.
