The minimum wage in the Portuguese civil service is expected to rise to 995.51 euros next year, according to the planned remuneration base. However, there is pressure for this increase to go much further than planned.
The article mentions that the value of 1,030 euros could be reached in 2027, although this value is still considered insufficient. Proponents of this position argue that the increase must take into account factors such as inflation, housing costs and the general cost of living.
The debate over civil service salaries arises in a context of valuing careers and combating precarity in the public sector. An upward revision of minimum salaries is seen by some as necessary to attract and retain workers in the public administration.
