Pensioners from Bijelo Polje and other cities gathered around the Pensioners' Movement, who gathered today at around 14 pm in front of the building where the European House is being ceremonially opened, said they want to inform European representatives about the violation of their rights.
They announced that they will continue their protests if the Law on the Exercise of the Right to Financial Support for Persons Who Were Employed in Companies in the Mining and Metal Industry Sector from Podgorica and Nikšić, which the Parliament adopted at the proposal of the Government, does not include former workers from the north.
The only person to address the pensioners from the north in front of the European House was the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, who recalled that he was a minister in the government in 2021, together with the current Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, and said that in the year and a half they were in executive power, they were unable to correct every social injustice that had befallen Montenegro and the turmoil that had lasted for the last 30 years, and to recover the economy that was in a major recession due to wrong decisions.
"If someone thinks that something needs to be corrected, there is the Parliament of Montenegro, they are the ones on whom the future of Montenegro depends and who make decisions," Milatović told the gathered pensioners.
He reminded the workers that the door of his office was open for all discussions, but that he was not the real address, but the Assembly.
"Vijesti" unofficially learned that EU Ambassador Johan Sattler will meet with the protesting prisoners.
