Chigi sources, Meloni does not sign the Prime Ministerial Decree for 1 billion increase for magistrates

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, sources at Palazzo Chigi confirm, does not intend to sign the Prime Ministerial Decree to unblock the salary increases for magistrates, foreseen on the basis of some rulings of the Council of State, which would amount in total to around one billion.

The Dpb launched by the government provides for a one-off sentence fund for 2027, worth 1.9 billion euros (0.08% of GDP), the majority of which should be allocated, as revealed in recent days by Il Sole 24 Ore, precisely to adjustments for magistrates.

For Meloni, the same sources explain, this is a figure approximately ten times higher than what the government is looking for to provide answers to the problems of the road haulage sector, which risk blocking the delivery of goods throughout Italy.

The prime minister, however, makes it known that she is ready to listen to the representatives of the ANM, in the belief that "most of the magistrates understand the situation and the priorities of the moment".
