The Union of Free Trade Unions (USSCG) will organize a public debate and signing of a proposal for calling a referendum on topics related to the campaigns of that workers' association in Cetinje on Monday.
The panel discussion will be held in the Assembly Hall of the Royal Capital of Cetinje from 12:14 to XNUMX:XNUMX.
The USSCG launched campaigns under the mottos For a peaceful sleep, social housing and Not everything is for sale, which stemmed from resolutions adopted at the USSCG Congress, namely resolutions on the necessity of housing policy reform and the protection of economic entities of national interest.
The campaign For a peaceful sleep, social housing refers to a request to the state to start implementing a responsible housing policy and to treat the right to housing as a basic human right.
"In this sense, the USSCG advocates that the state should begin building state-owned apartments and renting them out to citizens who are unable to purchase an apartment under market conditions," the statement said.
On the other hand, the Not Everything is for Sale campaign refers to the request that the state not privatize companies but rather preserve majority ownership in economic entities of national interest such as Airports of Montenegro, the Transmission System, Electric Power Industry, Coal Mine and Railway Infrastructure.
In order to implement the campaigns, the USSCG sent initiatives to the Presidents of the Parliament and the Government with a request to receive and exchange opinions on the above topics, to which there was no response.
After that, the USSCG decided to launch an initiative to collect signatures of Montenegrin citizens to submit a Proposal to the Parliament for calling a state referendum. In order to oblige the Parliament to call a state referendum on the above topics, it is necessary to collect signatures from at least ten percent of citizens who have the right to vote in Montenegro.
Public hearings and signature collection have been organized so far in several cities in Montenegro.
