"This is a huge effort on the part of the country" – Gábor Pósfai spoke about the police salary increase

Gábor Pósfai discussed the recent 15% salary increase for law enforcement workers, emphasizing its significance given the current economic climate. The Independent Police Trade Union's Géza Pongó noted that a minimum 50% raise is necessary to prevent staff turnover. The increase affects over 80,000 interior ministry employees, with varying percentages based on salary levels. The base salary has been raised by 10% for the first time in 18 years. While some expected more, the interior minister acknowledged the challenges of addressing long-standing issues in a short time frame. Other sectors, like healthcare, also anticipated salary adjustments.
