"The powerful from the coup d'etat government want the rights of mothers to be reduced to the minimum possible"

"As one of the MPs who contributed with his vote to this Law gaining the support of the MPs in the Parliament of Montenegro, I am convinced that it at least to some extent corrects the injustice towards some of the thousands of those who bring life to Montenegro, and not that the Constitution is being violated"

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is seeking an urgent clarification of the situation that arose after the amendment of the Constitutional Court's decision on the provisions of the Social and Child Protection Act, which declared compensation for mothers with three or more children unconstitutional, said Džavid Šabović, SDP deputy, today.

"As one of the deputies who contributed with his vote to this law gaining the support of the deputies in the Parliament of Montenegro, I am convinced that it at least to some extent corrects the injustice towards some of the thousands of those who bring life to Montenegro, and not that the Constitution is being violated. It is now clear that the decision made in the Constitutional Court is full of flaws and that it is a kind of legal precedent if the court's decision was subsequently changed, as well as that the explanation of the decision is not identical to the one that was voted on," Šabović pointed out.

He added that all this was pointed out by the judge of the Constitutional Court, Miodrag Iličković, who, in accordance with his understanding of the work of the Constitutional Court, distanced himself from such actions.

Iličković distanced himself and withdrew his support for the earlier decision of that court, by which allowances for mothers with three or more children were deemed unconstitutional, and the Government was ordered to adopt a new regulation.

"It is obvious that, when it comes to this law, there is a desire of the powerful from the current coup government to reduce the rights of mothers to the smallest possible extent, but I don't want to believe that someone who sits in the most important judicial instance of this country can get involved in this With this feeling, I expect an urgent explanation of the allegations made by judge Iličković, so that they can find out who is responsible for the resulting omissions," Šabović said.

On April 19, the Constitutional Court also declared the law introducing the fees unconstitutional, with the fact that the acquired right remained. The court, however, obliged the government to regulate the legal status of around 20 thousand women who received compensation within the next three months.

The right to lifetime allowances was reduced by the decision of the Assembly to monthly incomes of 264 and 144 euros respectively, by which they consider that "by fraud, neither guilty nor liable, they were placed in social cases."
