The PCP parliamentary group highlights that the police statute for agents of the Foreigners and Borders Unit (UNEF) of the PSP provides for “the allocation of remuneration supplements based on specialization, demand, and wear associated with certain services.”
“Given that this regulation has lacked implementation for ten years and that the supplements have not been comprehensively reviewed since 2009, the PCP argues that, immediately, the special service supplement for operational functions in UNEF of the PSP should be created and indexed to the special service supplement value for criminal investigation operations, set at 149.33 euros,” the bill states.
According to the PCP’s proposal, subsequently, the Government should “initiate a process of reviewing the remuneration supplements for PSP professionals, in negotiation with the respective trade union structures.”
Regarding the revision of the retirement complement for Armed Forces professionals, the communist group argues that it is necessary to “correct injustices” concerning “military personnel and militarized personnel” in terms of the calculation of their pensions.
“Military and militarized personnel (…) covered by the convergence regime and the general regime are granted a pension supplement that corresponds to the difference between the pension value and 90% of the last remuneration value in reserve. Whenever changes occur in the remuneration table, the pension supplement is updated according to the rank, remuneration position, and level corresponding to what the military occupied when transitioning to reserve,” reads this PCP project.
The PCP has also submitted a project for the revision of the pension complement intended for personnel with police functions of the PSP, criminal investigation career personnel, security career personnel, and scientific police specialists, with inspection and judicial identification functions of the PJ and personnel of the Prison Guard Corps.
The communist group considers that, also in the case of these security services and forces professionals, it is necessary to “correct injustices in the calculation of their pensions.”
For these workers, the PCP also advocates granting “a pension complement that corresponds to the difference between the pension value and 90% of the last remuneration value in pre-retirement or availability.”
In this bill, the PCP notes that “currently, multiple possible formulas for calculating pensions for security forces and services workers are in effect.”
“Such inequality of treatment cannot be acceptable, nor can the potential for a cut of about half the pension value compared to the active salary. It is necessary to homogenize the pension value, leveling up and not down, ensuring justice, dignity, and security for those who have worked a lifetime in service to the country,” the PCP’s proposal argues.
