The associations regret that the salary increases they agreed to have not yet been brought to the Council of Ministers, despite the electoral call
The judges and prosecutors on the one hand and the lawyers of the Administration of Justice on the other They are beginning to worry when they verify that the salary increases they agreed to have not yet been brought to the Council of Ministers, despite the electoral call next July 23. In a joint communiqué of all the associations of judges and prosecutors, they warn the Executive of Pedro Sánchez that is obliged to maintain the agreement that it reached with them in May, despite the electoral advance. The former judicial secretaries have chosen to address a letter to the president himself in the same vein.
In their letter, the associations of judges and prosecutors of all sensitivity recall the agreement they reached with the Secretary of State for Public Function and the Secretary of State for Justice on May 23 to call off the indefinite strike that they had announced in exchange for a raise salary of more than 400 euros per month, equivalent to that previously achieved with the lawyers of the Administration of Justice.
“This agreement was collected in writing and forced the Council of Ministers to approve its content, which has not happened to date. The electoral advance, which has shortened the duration of the legislature, in our opinion obliges the Government of the Nation to meet this commitment and do it urgently, so that your forecasts are effective on the agreed dates”ensure all associations of judges and prosecutors.
pressure measurements
“For this reason, we demand that the Government urgently attend to the agreements reached in the document signed on May 23, 2023, and that it do so before the general elections are held. Otherwise, the signatories will be obliged to not only to demand in court the fulfillment of a clearly binding agreement, but to adopt the measures of pressure that are necessary to ensure that the commitments made to improve both the professional conditions of the judiciary and prosecution and the administration of justice are met,” they state.
The first agreement was reached with the lawyers of the Administration of Justice and it has not yet materialized. In fact, the success of their mobilizations was the trigger for subsequent claims by judges and prosecutors and Justice officials. As the agreement was not brought to the Council of Ministers, they have decided to address a letter to Pedro Sánchez himself in which they demand compliance with the increase of around 450 euros that was scheduled to come into force in the months of June or July and It does not seem that it will be approved in the last Council of Ministers of the legislature, according to a statement.
Those who failed to extract any agreement from the Government were theJustice officials who have been forced to suspend the indefinite strike that they had maintained for weeks with the arrival of the summer holidays. However, they threaten to resume it with the new government that comes out of the polls on July 23. During the campaign, however, they have maintained mobilizations mainly in PSOE acts and even a sit-in in front of the La Moncloa complex
