For tomorrow's session of the Assembly, MPs from the Citizens' Movement URA will propose an expansion of the agenda for increasing the minimum pension and for beneficiaries of proportional pensions and benefits for children's allowances.
The president of the GP URA parliamentary group, Miloš Konatar, said that on December 29 of last year, the Assembly adopted a conclusion that mandated the Government to propose an increase in pensions for users of proportional pensions in Montenegro by the end of March at the latest, for which the minimum amount does not currently apply pension of 450 euros and that this is an injustice done to them.
"Since Milojko Spajić's government has not fulfilled its promise to this day, and Spajić himself promised that from January 1 of next year the minimum pension will be increased for proportionate pensioners, here is an opportunity for the Parliament to adopt amendments to the law on pension and disability insurance (PIO ) which will define the amount of the minimum pension of 450 euros, that is, an increase for commensurate pensioners, and in this way we will correct the injustice," Konatar announced.
He stated that due to the increase in prices, the value of children's allowances from 2021 has been quite devalued and that is why they propose to increase all amounts by 50 percent.
"There is no justification for the government proposing a 30 percent salary increase for public officials, while there is no money for pensioners and children in Montenegro," Konatar said.
