| Message | Selling off our vital postal and train services will result in higher prices and poorer service provision for the people of Zardugal. We question, in particular, whether a privately-operated train company can be trusted to put passenger safety before profit. Hakim Forsido Chairman of the Mela Zardugal Sosialist Niqinaqē |
