The dubious portal "Thedailybarta24.com" has published a news report stating that members of the Kosovo Parliament will be allocated 18 thousand euros in aid for the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The headline that gives this news is not argued with the content of the text within the article. While the headline states that this, so-called aid, will be distributed, the text talks about a completely different issue, namely the salaries of MPs.
Excerpt from the article published on Thedailybarta24.com:
T: Deputies are allocated an amount of 18 million euros in aid for the pandemic crisis, YOUR OPINION?
Since the beginning of the year, only 31 sessions have been held, and MPs' salaries have cost the budget over 1 million euros.
Since the deputies were sworn in in February of this year, this hall has been more empty than full. This is due to the pandemic, which made it impossible to hold the sessions that were planned.
And when they were called, many MPs boycotted them and the hall was empty because in many cases there was no quorum. / We invite you to open the marketing for 5 seconds and exclusive footage will appear!
