| Message | We cannot agree with your proposals n.1 and 2. The national grid is better when is owned only by the state, not private companies. And also it is necessary to have public power stations. We could support private power stations but only side-by-side. Jack Smith (Democratic Party) Infrastructure and Transport Department |
