Please understand also the context in which my remarks were
made: Raul initiated discussion on this topic in December 2000. We
have been talking about this for 2 1/2 years,
I brought the topic up last august, and we have intensified
discussions, and answered questions, and tried to satisfy issues for
nearly a year.
Then the GR entered a discussion period; again, it was widely
publicized.
Why did the people protesting not ask questions in the
discussion period?
And, anyway, all you needed was to persuade 25% of the voting
population to ask for further discussion.
