The Government promises to safeguard the salary increase for civil servants until 2027 but avoids setting a date

The government has committed to a 4.5% salary increase for public employees by 2027, but has not set a date for approval. Unions CSIF, CCOO, and UGT expressed satisfaction with the commitment but are concerned about the lack of a timeline. They demand the increase be approved before the upcoming elections on November 29. The salary increment is part of a previous agreement from November 2025, which also includes a 2% increase for 2026. Unions are pressing for timely action to ensure the increase is secured regardless of election outcomes, emphasizing the need for legal mechanisms to facilitate the approval process.
