Bošnjak said that when MPs' incomes are transparent, and the Government is non-transparent and that many have higher incomes than MPs with some allowances, it is not visible.
Petrić said that if the salaries of MPs have already been increased, the idea of MPs having an advisor is "unnecessary".
"We clearly said from PES that we will not use advisers," he added
Bosniak told Petrić that they should vote not to make that decision, to which he replied "that they are considering it".
Bošnjak assessed that the announcement that MPs will be able to hire advisers "purely rigs the job by some crooks".
The author of the Reflektor show, Aleksandra Mudreša, said that she learned from the Parliament of Montenegro that the 18 members of the Collegium of the President of the Parliament of Montenegro, in addition to their basic salary, also receive compensation for participation in the Collegium, which amounts to 60 percent of the average net salary in the country. She stated that, if one takes into account the average salary in October, it means that they receive from 500 to 520 euros.
Rakočević said that at this economic moment, such a high salary of MPs increased by additional earnings is inappropriate.
Petrić said that there is a great distrust of citizens towards politicians, and that this is a wider trend.
"Politicians and public officials are often perceived as parasites or crooks...", he added.
Bosniak called the changes to the law a "shameless law".
"In this economic situation, the way it was proposed deepens the gap even more. With this law, doctors are once again demoted to professors, because only that category remained that did not receive 30 percent..." said Bopšnjak.
She added that only "necessary explanations" were given.
Rakočević said that DPS will not support changes to the law.
"And I hope that the Government will give up its intention. We believe that it is about appeasing the appetites of party functionaries. In support of that claim is Andrija Mandić's announcement that the MPs will also receive an adviser who will receive the functionary's salary in addition to the 30 percent increase". Rakocevic said.
He added that he believes that through the law it was possible to exempt ministers, MPs and party employees from the increase.
"And to get to the bottom line that the director of the Tax Administration receives not what is stipulated by law, but twice more than that," said Rakočević.
Petrić said that it was not the intention to vote "this solution" in order to increase the salary of MPs.
"But because of that, because in certain positions such as the directors of the police, the Tax Administration, the current salary is inappropriate," Petrić stated, among other things.
According to Radonjić, the proposal of the draft law on salaries in the public sector was perceived by the trade unions as an attempt to stifle the freedom of trade union activity and negotiation.
"That's how we experienced it. We made proposals, most of those proposals were not respected," Radonjić said.
He said that a nurse in public health has an average coefficient of 6,54, and a nurse in the education system has a coefficient of 7,86 and explained that this means that "there is no logic".
"And another example is that a lawyer and an economist in the education system has a coefficient of 10,42, and the same in the system, for example, KCCG has a coefficient of 11,91. There are serious illogicalities... The amendments to this law do not affect any of these systems... Radonjic said.
The guests of the Reflektor show are Dražen Petrić - member of the Committee for Economy, Finance and Budget (PES), Nikola Rakočević - member of the Committee for Economy, Finance and Budget (DPS), Branka Bošnjak - former member of parliament, Nebojša Radonjić - president of the trade union organization KCCG and member of the Labor group for the drafting of the Law on wages in the public sector.
