The dubious portal "specialja.com" has published an article titled "18 thousand Euros are allocated to all MPs as 'Aid' for the pandemic crisis."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, the title of this article turns out to be fabricated and old news, while it was distributed with the claim of being presented as current.
The authentic news was published in August 2020, where it was announced that since the beginning of 2020, only 31 sessions have been held, while MPs' salaries have cost the budget over 1 million euros.
"In addition to the gross salary of 1547 euros, they also enjoyed other rights for any additional activity. And for 6 months, the 120 deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo, not counting the salaries for other activities outside the sessions, have contributed over 1 million euros to the state budget."
So in no case is it said that 18 thousand euros have been allocated to MPs as "aid" for the pandemic crisis, as falsely claimed in the title of the article published on "specialja.com".
Text of the article published on "specialja.com":
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 MPs 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 deputies boycotted them and the hall was empty because in many cases there was no quorum. / A few seconds after opening the marketing, see VIEWS
