Rabrenović: The opposition, more responsible than the authorities, saved ŽRK Budućnost from shutting down

When we don't have a responsible government, we have a responsible opposition, which today saved the image of the capital and by voting for the proposal to take over the founding rights in Podgorica, saved the women's handball club Budućnost from shutting down, announced Jovan Rabrenović, president of the Podgorica Committee of the Liberal Party of Montenegro.

"Our city sanctuary will continue to bring us joy and pride, and the girls who play for the club will continue to be our heroines. The club's glorious history with two European championship titles, with hundreds of top handball players and won trophies was almost not interrupted and extinguished forever. Fortunately, Podgorica has an opposition which bases its political engagement on love for this city and which, like many times before, has been responsible towards its club and the city," said Rabrenović.

He added that, as much as they are happy about the happy ending of the months-long saga about the future of Buducnosti, they must be sad that the outgoing government in the capital did not want to do what the opposition did.

"The members of the government did not intend to save the iconic Podgorica and Montenegrin club with their votes, so they were mostly absent when this agenda item was voted on. However, the opposition remained serious and committed to their city and club and did not allow it to be shut down." said Rabrenović in a press release.

He added that this is not the first time that the opposition in the city parliament is more responsible than the government, because as he said, it is easy to remember every previous session of the Capital City Assembly where the opposition representatives supported all proposals important for the functioning of the city with their votes.

"Our future should be ours, and that means all the men and women of Podgorica. Until that is the case, we have the feeling that some other clubs and some other cities are closer to you from the former majority, and you are not even in Montenegro! Citizens must know what an irresponsible majority they voted for, we believe that they will never allow themselves to make that mistake again," concluded Rabrenović.
