Pedro Sánchez and his ministers raise their salaries by 4% in 2023, more than deputies and officials

The president will receive 90,010.20 euros per year (7,500 euros per month) and the annual salary of his vice presidents rises to 84,600.72 euros

MADRID, 6 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The coalition government has decided to apply a salary increase of 4% for next year, above the 3.5% planned for civil servants and deputies. With this, the annual salary of President Pedro Sánchez will be 90,010.20 euros per year, which represents a monthly remuneration of 7,500 euros.

The Ministry of Finance agreed with the Workers' Commissions and the UGT a salary increase for officials of up to 3.5% in 2023 and, consequently, that same percentage is the one that Congress and the Senate agreed to also apply to their lordships.

Now, in the General State Budgets that the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, has just presented, a 4% salary increase is applied to the Executive, half a point above that bar.

It will be the second consecutive increase in salary for the president, the vice presidents and the ministers, since for 2022 a 2% rise was already included, just like the civil servants. On the other hand, the previous year the PSOE and Podemos rectified the amendment process and in the end their salary was frozen in 2021, like parliamentarians.

According to the project registered in the Chamber and collected by Europa Press, the salary of the Prime Minister will go from 86,542.08 euros to 90,010.20 euros per year, which represents an increase of 3,468.12 euros more than this year. Since he is not entitled to extra payments, his monthly salary will amount to 7,500 euros.

Likewise, the annual salary of the three vice presidents of the Government (Nadia Calviño, Yolanda Díaz and Teresa Ribera) rises to 84,600.72 euros per year compared to the 81,341.16 euros that they have been receiving. It is a monthly salary of 7,050.06 euros gross, since they do not have payments either.

For their part, the ministers of the coalition government will see their annual salary increased to 79,415.16 euros gross, which means a monthly salary of 6,617.93 euros.
