“The 2% per diem was also cut for the parliamentarians, the per diem returned, in all sectors, to that standard that is applied in the entire budgetary system, with the exception of 300 people from the Ministry of Justice system. It was requested from the Ministry of Justice in order not to disrupt the activity in the courts”, explained the Minister of Public Finance in an intervention on Antena 3 CNN.
It is about the per diem granted, according to the law, to judges, prosecutors and the staff assimilated to them and assistant magistrates, who are seconded or delegated to a locality other than their domicile.
