Increase in magistrates' salaries is a clash between Meloni and the ANM

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni decided not to sign the decrees to unblock the salary increases for magistrates foreseen by the Council of State, triggering the reaction of the ANM. The government has foreseen a 'Sentences Fund' of 1.92 billion for 2027 in the budget, but Meloni considers the increases (around one billion) too high compared to other priorities, such as support for hauliers. The ANM threatens legal challenges to enforce the rights of magistrates, while the government could delegate implementation to the Council of State through a commissioner. Meanwhile, the process of the budget law continues, with a majority summit expected to define the priorities between selective and generalized measures.
