Batrićević: Enough with hypocrisy and excuses, where is Europe now?

Nikola Batrićević, a member of the Main Board of the Civic Movement URA, responded to the accusations of Uglješa Urošević, a deputy of the Europe Now Movement, stating that he hopes that Urošević has "finally settled down in a party", and that finally the Europe Now Movement "will know that they appreciate his many years of persistence to be liked by at least one of the numerous parties on the political scene of Montenegro".

"As we can see, Urošević has already begun to impose himself on the leader Milojko Spajić, because while he is waving at state enterprises with lists of people from his new party who need to be hired, he is publicly saying that he is against party employment, hypocrisy when it comes to the Europe Now Never Ends movement ", Batrićević said.

He added to the members of the Europe now movement, like Urošević, "who came to the situation of commenting on the record results of the previous government on the wave of populism and false promises, that he wants to announce a few facts and thus refresh their memory."

"During the government of Dritan Abazović, the personal salaries of educators were increased by over 20 percent, which is a bigger increase than all the increases in the previous 10 years. Also, there is no doubt that the URA Civil Movement remained in power so that from January 1, 2024 their salaries increased by 10 percent, exactly as the signed Branch Collective Agreement provides."

"When it comes to Željezara, the Government of Dritan Abazović returned one million square meters in the center of Nikšić to state ownership, so now that land alone is worth close to 60 million euros, which is three times more than what it cost to buy Željezara. Likewise, more it was more important for us to protect the 229 families of Željezara workers, and we are sorry to recognize that you are also guilty of spoiling the affairs of tycoons close to the former regime, and now to the Europe Now movement," Batrićević said.

He called on Urošević to "stop blaming himself publicly like this, but to say, where is the Europe Now 2 program in the Budget for 2024".

"Enough with hypocrisy and excuses," concludes Batrićević.
