To the increase in salaries he added an extra to bring salaries in line with those of the security forces. It was published in the Official Gazette with signatures from Caputo and Petri.
In the Official Gazette through the joint resolution signed by the Ministers Luis Caputo, Economy, and Luis Petri, Defensethe Government confirmed the increase to the Armed Forces according to the salary guideline of the National Public Administration.
He president Javier Milei authorized a yapa, the mini-hierarchization quota that resumes the salary adjustment plan initiated by the then Minister Jorge Taiana to shorten the gap between military and security forces assets. The improvement reaches 5 percent in basic remuneration as of October 1.
President Milei, in his role as Commander in Chief, said prior to the toast of camaraderie with uniformed personnel that took place last August that he would solve the military demand to equalize salaries for military and federal forces and conditioned it to the improvement in the economic situation of the country. Milei described at the recent Industry Day event before the UIA: “Little by little, all these efforts – both at the level of correcting the macro and at the level of structural reforms – are translating into palpable improvements in economic activity. ”.
It would be the endorsement for the recital of the resolution signed by Caputo and Petri giving the green light to the salary adjustment that the uniformed personnel expected. It reads: “…that it is pertinent to consider, starting in October of this year, the last stage of hierarchy initiated in a timely manner through the Joint Resolution between the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Defense No. 12 of February 28, 2023.”
Milei’s nod to the military front is the first step on a ladder towards salary equalization with the security forces that have salaries that exceed by an average 20 percent those of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Administration of La Libertad Avanza thus resumes the equalization plan conceived by the previous government. It was a staggered payment that started in 2023, the first installment of 14% in March, another 14% in July, 12% in November and two remaining 10 percent to be received in January and April 2024. The last two were suspended and Luis Petri blamed Kirchnerism for not providing the corresponding budget item to meet the fees.
The economic debacle of Sergio Massa made it unsustainable. Political rhetoric called him “small money plan” in search of votes. If it was intended for electoral purposes, the plan did not work. The polls demonstrated the preference of those in uniform for Milei-Villarruel formula in districts where the most important bases of the armed forces are located, although it was the vice president who attracted the military vote.
