Dina Boluarte The salary was increased, however, he refuses to do the same with the salaries of the workers of his own presidential office, according to a report by the Hildebrandt weekly in his thirteen.
These are 272 officials who have been requesting the monthly remuneration they receive for three years, but they are not heard. The only one who did respond to his request was the head of state, who together with the Council of Ministers was benefited with a 125% increase in the salary he received (S/15,600). Now wins S/35,568.
The union and representatives of the presidential office decided to submit the controversy to an arbitral tribunal, which is still in process.
Fundamentals of the MEF to support Dina Boluarte’s salary increase
The report of the Ministry of Economy cites article 2 of Law No. 28212, indicating that “the President of the Republic occupies the highest hierarchy in the Nation service and has the responsibility of presiding over all the public and official acts he attends”, justifying having various functions and a minor salary compared to a minister. This is better needed in article 4 of the same law that establishes that the President must receive the highest remuneration within the Nation service.
With this new salary increase, Dina Boluarte is positioned in the top of the list of civil service officials, exceeding the monthly remuneration of the members of the National Board of Justice (JNJ), magistrates of the TC, ministers, rectors of public universities, among others.
The lawyer Beatriz Ramírez pointed out in a local environment that, although Law 28212 establishes a limit for the increase in salaries in the public sector, Boluarte would seek its own benefit.
“The president would be taking a measure that would clearly be self -efficient. Because she could propose it as a precedent for the next presidents. But the public modesty that previously existed to boost a measure that clearly benefits her, being in office, has been lost.”
