Message | Mr. Speaker, Many years ago, when the Ecosocialist Party begun before its years of inactivity, we helped the nation to be able to travel freely all over the country. Being able to travel and to see more than your front- and back door is a human right in our opinion. Also: fees on public transport will increase travel by car, which is not sustainable. The beautiful nature this country has must be accessible by citizens, without limits. Therefore, we cannot support this change - it is contradictory to everything we stand for.
