I fully support the announced protest readiness of the trade unions in the Ministry of the Interior and assure that as a responsible parliamentary force, DPS-NEW BEGINNING we will use all legal means to implement the decision of the National Assembly and from January 1, 2025, the salary increase of the employees of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Defense will be a fact. This was stated in his position by the chairman of DPS - New Beginning Delyan Peevski.
As the leader of DPS - NEW BEGINNING, I express the position of the parliamentary group for the unconditional implementation of the decision of the 50th National Assembly to increase the salaries of employees of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defense from January 1, 2025.
This firm position of ours has already been expressed to Finance Minister Ludmila Petkova and her team, who held meetings with all parliamentary groups, where the implementation of the budget for 2024 and the draft budget for the following year were discussed, as well as the measures to overcome of the budget deficit, added Peevski.
I am extremely concerned about attempts to create destabilization and tension in society by provoking large public and professional groups, he added.
The use of a similar measure, such as postponing for half a year or one year the anticipated increase in the salaries of employees in the “Security” is inadmissible, Peevski also points out.
