All associations of judges and prosecutors, except the Professional Association of the Magistracy (APM) – the majority of judges – have reached an agreement with the government of Spain to increase the salary by about 450 euros per month. The pact will be signed on Tuesday.
The General Council for the Judiciary convened an extraordinary plenary session next Wednesday (10:00 am.) to assess the proposal on the adequacy of the remuneration of judges and magistrates negotiated by the Spanish government with the associations of judges and prosecutors.
Last week, all associations of judges and prosecutors excepted the Professional Association of the Magistracy (APM) —the majority and of a conservative tendency – reached an agreement with the Ministries of Justice and the Treasury to avoid an indefinite strike and accepted the offer of 46.7 million euros, which translates into an additional 450 euros per month that will be applied to the entire career.
Six of the seven associations of judges and prosecutors closed the last “margin” of negotiations on Thursday, calling off the strike four of them had planned for this Monday.
The official signing of the pact will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 p.m.
