The new stage starts to turn Petro into a power on an international scale», he said during a meeting with the Youth of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Jpsuv).

He stressed that the Petro is part of the Plan for Economic Recovery, Growth and Prosperity, and will stabilize the national economy, as it is a «perfect formula of economic growth for equality and justice.»
