MP Branislav Nenezić from the European Alliance highlights that a new government project in Montenegro will cost citizens an additional 50 million euros. He believes that this money should be invested in the modernization of Montenegrin airports and keep them under state ownership, rather than losing management rights over the airports. Nenezić warns about neglect over the past half-decade that has led to a decline in airport service quality, which will further cost citizens. He proposes that part of the funds be allocated to land restitution to owners, and the remainder used for airport modernization to keep them state-owned.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the importance of maintaining public ownership of critical infrastructure like airports to ensure public benefit and prevent privatization that may prioritize profit over service quality. They highlight Nenezić’s call for investment in modernization as a way to protect workers’ rights and public interests.
Center: Center-leaning sources focus on the economic and practical aspects of the investment, discussing the financial implications for citizens and the government’s responsibility to manage public assets efficiently. They present Nenezić’s proposal as a balanced approach to improving infrastructure while maintaining state control.
Right: Right-leaning media may stress fiscal responsibility and skepticism about government spending, questioning the efficiency of state ownership and advocating for privatization or public-private partnerships. They might view Nenezić’s proposal as potentially costly and call for more transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.
