Quito, Jan 29 (Prensa Latina) Ecuador s former President Rafael Correa stressed on Friday the importance of progressivism and collective action, when the world is fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic plagued by systems based on individualism. The reflection was part of his speech at the 5th Meeting of the Puebla Group, an organization of Ibero-America and the Caribbean, formed by 49 leaders from 15 countries. Latin America has reacted very poorly to the pandemic crisis, the former president assured at the virtual meeting, noting that the region has eight percent of the world s population, but 30 percent of the world s Covid-19 cases.
