Neither one nor two, Three are already the months of delay that officials accumulate in the collection of that 0.5% salary increase corresponding to 2024 and that the Executive of Pedro Sánchez promised to pay them with retroactive character in January of this year. A payment that comes to “compensate” the purchasing loss caused by inflation and that will not be effective until it is approved in the Council of Ministers, through a royal decree, and is published in the Official State Gazette (BOE).
A rise collected in the Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration for the 2022-2024 period and is linked to the evolution of the harmonized IP. However, although it should have been applied retroactively, it is still not materialized by the “inaction” of the Executive.
And waiting for that long -awaited increase are National Police and Civil Guardswho see how the government delays day and day too. So much so, that Sanchez himself announced the other day that if there were no budgets for this year they would be extended again, so The 0.5% increase can eternalize As much as the Minister of Public Function, Óscar López, strives to meet with the unions.
Increase between 10 and 120 euros per year
Remember that, in the case of agents, This salary increase would involve between 10 and 120 euros per yeardepending on the range, antiquity and accessories they charge at that time. We should also have other concepts such as extraordinary diets and payments. It is necessary to say that this minimal rise is barely serves the police and civil guards who have been demanding salary comparison with the rest of the state police, such as Mossos and Ertzainas.
Fifteen months of payment that, in the opinion of the Unified Association of the Civil Guard (AUGC), demonstrate a “worrying disconsideration” towards agents. “We cannot allow us to be treated as Second category public employees “They denounce, so they demand that “the government demonstrate with facts its respect and recognition towards the work of the civil guards. And what better way to do so, in their opinion, that” complying with the established agreements and ensuring fair salary conditions and in accordance with the responsibility of their functions. “
From this association, they have “unacceptable” that the Executive subject the remuneration improvements to the approval of the General State Budgets (PGE), since Leave civil guards in a situation of “uncertainty and vulnerability”. Therefore, they require the Government to comply with the commitments acquired and immediately pay the pending salary increase.
Marlaska left 70,000 police
However, it is not the first time that the Executive leaves agents in the background. In February 2024, Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, played thousands of national police. More than 70,000 agents had to wait for April to collect the increase of 0.5% in their payrolls, although The rest of this ministry officials had already chargedincluding civil guards. The reason? An “dispatch error”.
As reported from the Spanish Police Confederation (CEP), although the BOE published on February 8 the resolution of the Secretary of State for Budgets and expenses in which the instructions for the payment to the officials of the officials of the rewarding of 0.5% linked to the evolution of GDPthis payment was not made in date.
Specifically, the resolution not only established the additional amounts corresponding to retroactive effects since January 1, 2023, but also made it clear that, “Except technical reasons,” that payment should be made in February. Needless to, neither February nor March … The justification wielded from the inside was that “on that date the files of the payrolls to the Treasury were already referred to their inspection and that we had to wait.” However, the rest of interior officials had charged it.
