Economic Warnings on the Financial Repercussions of the Proposed Long-Term Leave for Government Employees

Specialized economic observation entities have expressed their rejection of a legislative proposal that would allow government employees to take long-term leave while continuing to receive half of their basic salaries. Reports warned that this proposal could turn into an open-ended financial privilege that drains the public budget, given the current inflation in the state's ongoing expenditures. Assessments indicated that paying salaries to employees who do not provide actual service, while potentially working in the private sector concurrently, represents a financial strain. Experts stressed the necessity of conducting extensive studies on the actual cost of any new legislation, confirming the futility of addressing salary inflation with measures that could exacerbate the financial obligations of the public treasury.
