Approval of Salary Increase for Government Employees
October 17, 2024
The Parliament approved a bill for a 1.5% increase in salaries and pensions for government employees, effective from October 1, 2024. The decision saw disagreements among parties, particularly from DISY, which raised concerns about the sustainability of the public wage system. Criticism focused on the across-the-board nature of the increases without differentiation based on productivity. Nevertheless, the majority of lawmakers supported the bill.
