Bavarian Parliament to proceed with salary increase despite calls for freeze
Unlike the Bundestag, the Bavarian state parliament is set to implement a 4.1% salary increase for its 203 members on July 1st. While the Greens and AfD advocate for a freeze, CSU, Free Voters, and SPD support the automatic adjustment tied to wage development since 1996, arguing it prevents self-service and political disputes.
