According to the Minister of State, opposition MEPs have been working against the wage increase all year.
The end of the year is approaching, but Brussels has yet to pay its share of the salary increase for Hungarian teachers. Pence Ritvar In a statement sent to MTI, he explained that opposition MEPs had worked all year to prevent the payment of funds to Hungary. The Minister of State for the Interior described it as disgraceful that they do not represent teachers for their monthly salary of 5 to 6 million HUF, they are making sure that by 2025 teachers will not be able to earn 800,000 HUF per month.
According to him, this is petty political revenge, because Hungarians did not vote for them in the elections. Pence Ritvari noted that according to the government’s official plan, the average teacher’s salary would have risen to 561,000 HUF this year, but the opposition in Brussels blocked the implementation of the largest increase in teachers’ salaries since the regime change. According to the announcement of the Minister of State
Last year, this year and next year, the government will raise teachers’ salaries by 10-10-10 percent, a total of 30 percent, of budget resources. If this could be supplemented with our own EU resources, the salary increase by 2025 would be not 30, but 75 percent, he added.
The Left first failed on teachers’ wages when, in 2008-2009, during the peace period, it withdrew one month’s wages from teachers. He said they failed for the second time this year, when the source of the largest wage increase was unreasonably blocked in Brussels. The Secretary of State finds it almost incomprehensible that a politician would act against teacher pay increases, yet they do so without any sense of shame.
“They don’t even give it the appearance of it, because they openly, happily, and proudly admit that this is their mission,” Retvari wrote. According to him, Hungarian teachers do not forget this Attila Ara Kovacs, Czech Katalin, Clara Dobrev, Anna Donath, Marton Giorgiosi, Csaba Molnar, Sandor Ronai And Istvan Ojeli For members of the European Parliament. Teachers unions indicated a few days ago that they expect more money from the government.
