“It must be demonstrated that these changes will bring about well-reasoned rationalization and that professional work methods will not be jeopardized. This cannot be guaranteed in the current plans,” the petition states, according to Fréttabladid.
The mayor thanked the group of protestors for presenting their view to him and said that all reviews on the city’s merger plans will be taken into consideration.
