responsible by their systems

In this context, the national spokesperson stressed: "It is important to make some clarifications: municipal and provincial transportation
is a responsibility not delegated
to the Nation.
They are responsible
for their systems within the scope of their jurisdictions
. "
"The Nation will continue to assist transportation that is under national jurisdiction and in which it is the enforcement authority. With this, the national government is simply correcting years of financial imbalance and bringing a
