The presidency minister responded this Friday to MPs that she has never denied the loss of purchasing power of civil servants, but emphasized that wage growth is 5.1% because wages do not develop only with the salary update.Annually.
“Not a single union has heard refutation of the evidence that this year we will not be able to follow the evolution of inflation,” Mariana Vieira da Silva said, later leaving a warning. “Wages don’t just change with the annual salary update. They grow by an average of more than 3.6%, but develop in other, even more relevant dimensions, which have been frozen for many years and which have allowed wage increases to be much higher than the updates were made. The increase in wages is 5.1%,” he explained.
The official, who was heard in parliament, also reported that 21,000 civil servants are currently working remotely as part of the state budget for 2023. However, Mariana Vieira da Silva stated that she had no data on the payment of costs related to remote work, indicating that the General Directorate of Administration and Public Employment “should not be informed.”
The minister also took the opportunity to make more revelations, this time regarding the process of moving some ministries to the Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) headquarters. It will begin in the first quarter of 2023 and will be rolled out gradually throughout the legislature.
