The DNA Party’s candidacy in the regional elections scheduled for September 24 aims to end the disparity in treatment and pay between senior officials and others working in the areas of justice, health and security in the civil service.
“We cannot continue to divide the civil service between poorly paid and very well paid workers, or where those with jobs of increased responsibility are directly at risk, as is the case with agents of the security forces, justice officials and nurses.”People our rulers despise Time and time again, while higher positions, such as judges, socialist police officers and hospital directors, always benefit, especially when we talk about salary increases,” says João Abreu, election candidate for the ADN party.
“We do not accept that some of the key people responsible for the speed of justice and the preservation of public security and our health, namely bailiffs, public police agents or guards and nurses of the National Guard, have been receiving undeserved salaries, without fair increases for decades, while those who hold senior positions In justice, police, and hospitals, that is, judges, public police officers, and hospital directors, who in most cases are people who have insufficient training, but who organize and direct doctors, receive annual increases much higher than the general average. “Percentages attributed to other public sector workers,” warns João Abreu.
The ADN party does not approve of this form of government, in which some have everything and others have nothing, and it intends to solve the terrible salary disparities that exist, not only in these categories that we have highlighted, but in the entire civil service. However, greater scrutiny of civil service workers is also needed, as we cannot continue to treat good workers and bad workers and pay them the same way, without being able to fire those who give the public service a bad name.
“Justice and security, both in the autonomous community of Madeira and in the country, cannot be based on a policy of low wages, because no one benefits from this kind of governance, not even those who seek justice or demand security or better health, nor the government.” Itself “We have to change mentalities in the civil service, and DNA wants to take the public service into the 21st century, where there cannot be large pay gaps and the best and most productive are compensated for their work,” concludes the candidate.
