Parliament head plans 10% cut in MP wages
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Parliament President Nikos Voutsis is examining a 10 pct cut in the main wages of lawmakers which will be included in the parliamentary budget currently being drafted and will be implemented from January 2016.
Voutsis said that this measure is a continuation of the cuts MPs have accepted in their overall remuneration but noted this will be the first time that MPs’ main wage will be slashed. He also said that MPs’ compensation for their participation in committees will not be cut, as it now stands at 75 euros which is the minimum for the public sector.
The salaries of judicial officers will not be affected and efforts will be made to do the same with the wages of local government representatives.
