• The Government fails to agree on the rise of civil servants: it will raise salaries up to 9.5% with the rejection of CSIF

The

Government

has decided to apply a

4% salary increase

for next year, higher than the 3.5% increase agreed for public employees, as has been included in the 2023 General State Budget (PGE) project presented this Thursday in Congress.

With this, President

Pedro Sánchez will receive 90,010.20 euros per year

, which represents a remuneration of about

7,500 euros per month

in gross terms

,

since he receives it in twelve payments.

The Ministry of Finance agreed with CCOO and UGT a

salary increase for public employees -civil servants and labor personnel- of up to 3.5%

in 2023 and, consequently, that same percentage is the one that Congress and the Senate agreed to apply also to their honors.

Now, in the accounts that the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has just presented, a 4% salary increase is applied to the Executive, half a point above that bar.

This is the

second consecutive salary increase for the president

, the

vice presidents

and the

ministers

, since for 2022 a

2% rise was already included,

the same as that of civil servants.

On the other hand, the previous year the PSOE and Podemos rectified the amendment process and in the end their salary was frozen in 2021, like parliamentarians.

According to the project registered in the Chamber and collected by Europa Press, the salary of the Prime Minister will go from 86,542.08 euros to 90,010.20 euros per year, which represents an

increase of 3,468.12 euros

more than this year.

For its part, the annual salary of the three vice presidents of the Government (

Nadia Calviño, Yolanda Díaz and Teresa Ribera

) rises to

84,600.72 euros per year in 2023,

compared to the 81,341.16 euros they have been receiving.

It is a

monthly salary of 7,050.06 euros gross

, since they do not have payments either.

The

ministers

of the coalition government will see their annual salary increased to

79,415.16 euros gross

, which means a monthly salary of 6,617.93 euros.

As for the Secretaries of State and Undersecretaries, who in 2021 got rid of the salary freeze, in next year's Budgets they will experience a new increase, this time of 4%.

Thus, the secretaries of State will receive

77,893.18 euros per year,

the undersecretaries will be above

69,059 euros

and the general directors and similar will receive

59,048 euros per year

, adding the salary, the destination complement and the specific complement.

Unlike the ministers, these high officials do also receive extraordinary payments in June and December, with which they can receive more than their superiors.

A salary increase of 4% is also contemplated for the

president of the Council of State, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega

, who in 2023 will receive

90,383.28 euros,

and for the

president of the Economic and Social Council (CES), Antón Costas,

who will have an annual salary of

98,741.40 euros.

Both also saw their salary frozen in 2021 with the last minute amendment of PSOE and Podemos.
