[As you may notice, I’ve cut part of the article because the question of peace talks between the left party RPMP-RPA-ABB and the Government has nothing to do with gangster GUAC. It's better to avoid any confusion. ;-)Felix Zorba, October 7, 2003]

What do you think can be done to stop this backward step?
