FINALLIST: I FEEL LIKE A ZOMBY

FINAL LIST They don't have a job, but we will spend 10 million kuna on them: 'It's not fun, I feel like a pensioner' This is 38 former MPs who have been granted compensation of six plus six By: Željka GodečPosted: September 11, 2020 7:51 "It's not fun at all, as it seems to many. After two months, I feel like a pensioner - I drive my daughter where she needs to, take care of the vineyard - here, I arrange a purchase for two and a half kuna per kilogram of grapes, but only for half of what I have, because of the crisis I can't sell everything. Variants I have various responsibilities, but that's not it! I do not have a contract to return to work because I resigned from the position of mayor of Tompojevci due to incompatibility of functions. I am not allowed to have any management or ownership functions. Only on the construction site! I am considering some variants and I will probably seek the opinion of the Commission for the Prevention of Conflicts of Interest so that I do not incur any more accusations, but I would like to start working as soon as possible. It is clear to me that former ministers have to cool down due to a possible conflict of interest, but with MPs it is very marginal - the question is how they can abuse their political influence and what it is like for them in general - admits forty- seven- year-old Tomislav Panenić, a former Minister of Economy and Member of Parliament, who entered the national scene with Most in 2015 and ended his term at the Independent Youth List Club. He has not died politically - he intends to announce his candidacy for mayor soon. Labor market Panenić has a university degree in entrepreneurship, a lot of privately owned arable land, and an annual incentive of HRK 18,626 from the Agency for Payments in Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development. And the right to salary compensation, popularly called six plus six - the first six months at the expense of taxpayers will be paid 18,330 kuna, which was his salary, and then half that amount. Panenic is now in the labor market with a "golden parachute" that will protect him for a year from financial uncertainty, along with 37 other former lawmakers, including former deputy prime ministers, a number of ministers, political secretaries, international secretaries and political shakers. and decided on the fate of citizens, as well as those against whom investigations and court proceedings are conducted, such as Tomislav Saucha and Lovro Kuščević , but also those who barely voted in Parliament. The balance sheet of the parliamentary service shows that the request for salary compensation, 6 plus 6, was approved for 38 deputies. Tomislav Tolušić is in the special category 3 plus 3, his parliamentary tenure after removal from the Government is less than one year to be entitled to paid one year. In addition, 11 MPs were entitled to a parliamentary salary for another two months after the dissolution of Parliament on July 22, although their jobs await them: Goran Aleksic, Davor Vlaovic, Damir Felak, Bernarda Topolko, Robert Podolnjak, Damir Tomic, Tomislav Liposcak, Marko Sladoljev . And there are those who got that right, but shortened it - Snježana Sabolek, Marta Luc Polanc and Slaven Dobrović . Their cooling will cost taxpayers about five and a half million kuna - such is the cost of their net salaries without contributions and taxes if the average salary is calculated to be around 16,000 kuna, while the gross amount will be almost ten million kuna. According to the law, “recipients of salary compensation after the termination of their parliamentary duties lose all rights if they start earning a salary on another basis or acquire conditions for retirement, of which they are obliged to inform the Committee on Elections, Appointments and Administrative Affairs of the Croatian Parliament. termination of rights ”. Unlike Panenić, Branko Hrg enjoys: "I'm not very sad, I don't miss the job of a member of parliament or a mayor. In my day, there was no law guaranteeing a return to work. Finally, I do some things around the house that I haven't been able to do for fifteen years, ”says Hrg, who was caught in a paint shop by a journalist.
