The Independent and Officials Trade Union Central (CSIF) has formally requested the first vice president of the Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, who enables the necessary credit in the General State Budgets (PGE) to cover the salary rise of officials according to CPI (Consumer price index) and with retroactive effect on January 1, 2025.
The union has sent this request a day later that the Official State Gazette (BOE) has published the Ministerial order to prepare the public accounts of 2026. CSIF explains that from now on the bodies that are part of the state public sector will have their budgets before September 12 of this year.

Recover lost purchasing power
CSIF asks the minister to recover the lost purchasing power, which is currently 20% and the recovery of the remuneration regime prior to the 2010 cuts, receiving 100% of the extraordinary payments. The union also asks for salary equalization for public employees of the same body and scale regardless of the territory or administration on which they depend. In this way, it would break with the “current remuneration inequalities.”
They have also requested that professional groups be adapted in accordance with the law, the professional career for the group of public employees, the update of compensation due to the service both in the amounts of maintenance and overnight and for the use of the private vehicle as well as the remuneration approval of the labor personnel abroad, updating the remuneration according to the purchasing power of each country.
Other issues in which the Government should pay attention, according to CSIF are the update of compensation for residence, which have not reviewed 25 years, establishing homogeneous amounts regardless of the territory in which they are and the regulation of the protection of collective bargaining that can sign agreements that involve remuneration increases superior to those established by the budgetary standard.
End of the replacement rate in the OEP
The replacement rate in the Public Employment Offer (OEP) is also another of the CSIF demands that asks to be eliminated, allowing public administrations to adapt public employment offers to the planning of the human resources of each area.
They ask for flexibility in internal promotion, ending with the current selective process, in a way that is linked to a selective course in addition to establishing a 35 -hour workday for all public administrations to eliminate the difference in treatment between officials.
Partial retirement for official and statutory personnel is another request, as well as its application to the set of public employees. CSIF has claimed the application of early retirement due to activity to groups with work of a painful, toxic, dangerous or unhealthy nature.
They affirm that the increase in the credit regulator of passive classes would be necessary so that it is homogenized to the amount perceived in the general social security regime, and that voluntary retirement is regulated at 60 years in this regime.
