Welcome to Montenegro, a country where the government spends millions on limousines, yachts, and planes while the people wait for therapies and medicines! Yes, you read that right. While ordinary citizens barely make ends meet, the state is splurging nearly 30 million euros on 30 new official vehicles. Is this luxury or arrogance? You decide.
Limousines for Everyone
The Parliament of Montenegro, chaired by Andrija Mandić, plans to purchase five new black limousines for about 78 thousand euros. But that’s not all! Government bodies are acquiring a total of 30 vehicles, 27 new and 3 used, with an estimated value of nearly 3 million euros. Is it really necessary for the Employment Bureau to buy a limousine worth over 41 thousand euros? Or the Ministry of Public Administration to get an SUV worth 42 thousand euros? Used cars for ministries cost up to 30 thousand euros, which is still a lot for state needs.
Yachts and Planes – Because Why Not?
The public enterprise managing maritime property plans to buy a motor yacht for state companies, worth about 300 thousand euros. They say it will be used for educational and scientific tours, but it’s hard not to notice the extravagance in a country where people barely survive.
And what about the plane? The government plans to buy a new plane for 25 million euros, even though the existing plane can be used for another ten years. This luxury project has sparked numerous criticisms, including from independent MPs who call it an unnecessary waste of citizens’ money.
Scandals and Political Games
While the government splurges money, the opposition and part of the public protest. Add to that the controversies around the 13th July Award, where recipients are linked to denying the Montenegrin nation and hate speech. Miloš Karadaglić, a renowned musician, refused to accept the award under these circumstances, while statements from other laureates sparked condemnation from civil organizations.
Political Control and Conflicts
Management of the security sector is under heavy pressure from political conflicts. The new police director Lazar Šćepanović faces criticism and attempts at political control, while accusations of corruption and criminal ties, especially related to the construction company Bemax, have surfaced in public.
Conclusion
While the citizens of Montenegro wait for basic services and medicines, the government acts as if the country is their private toy. Spending millions on luxury cars, yachts, and planes while the people suffer is not just irresponsible – it’s an insult to common sense. Will anyone stop this arrogance, or will we watch the country turn into a circus without control?
