\n

Several DNA members<\/a> expressed concerns on Monday about the 15 percent wage increase, which will take effect at the end of September for civil servants and equivalent categories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

T<\/span>hey fear that after this increase, the government will discontinue the fuel subsidy. \u201cWill the fuel subsidy be abolished? And what effects will that have on production companies and prices in stores?\u201d DNA member Rabin Parmessar asked the government in parliament on Monday.<\/p>\n

Parmessar wanted to know whether the increase takes inflation, exchange-rate developments and their impact on prices in stores into account. He further asked whether pensions and AOV will also be increased, because the government must not forget the elderly. The NDP parliamentary group leader wanted to know whether the government would immediately proceed with abolishing the fuel subsidy. \u201cThe wage increase could work to our disadvantage, and we do not want that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krishnakoemari Mathoera also wanted clarity. She wanted to know what the financial impact of this increase would be on the state budget <\/a>per month and per year. \u201cHas all of this been calculated?\u201d The DNA member asked where the state would obtain the money to pay for this. \u201cWill the expenditure be financed through loans or from the 2026 budget? From which budget item will the money come?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronny Asabina wanted clarity: \u201cWe want to know from which fund this increase will be financed. We hope we do not have to relate this to the abolition of the fuel cap.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
