The Delegate of the Government in Melilla, Sabrina Moh, has very positively valued the remuneration increase of 2.5% approved by the Government of Spain for the year 2025, a measure that will benefit more than 10,000 public employees in the city and that is part of the Framework Agreement to improve the working and salary conditions of public employment until 2028.

The Delegate stressed that this salary increase “is another sign of the firm commitment of the Government of Spain to those who support the Welfare State on a daily basis”. In this regard, he stressed that “we talk about a useful policy, which translates into rights, stability and recognition of the work of thousands of public service professionals.”

The approved increase, of 2.5% consolidable for 2025 and with retroactive effects from the month of January, will be reflected in the payroll in these days of December in which the corresponding remuneration increase will be paid. This measure reaches personnel of the General Administration of the State and all public employees and employees who serve in the city.

Sabrina Moh stressed that “during these seven years, the Government of Spain has made a clear commitment to strengthen the public, modernize the administrations and improve the working conditions of public employees.” In the words of the Delegate, “in the face of a period of cuts and wage freezes, today we are talking about real and sustained progress”.

The head of the Government Delegation recalled that the framework agreement signed with the trade union organizations guarantees a cumulative increase of 11% between 2025 and 2028, in addition to other key measures such as the modernization of the public service, the promotion of internal promotion, the improvement of professional classification and the reinforcement of digital and artificial intelligence skills.

“This government does not promise, it complies. It complies with public employees and complies with citizenship, because improving the conditions of those who work in the public is improving the services that people receive,” said Moh, insisting that “strengthening public employment is a social investment, not an expense.”

In addition, the Delegate has pointed out that, while in seven years with the previous Government the salary increase was 3.7%, “with the current Executive the increase already reaches 17%, a difference that demonstrates two very different models of understanding the public”.

Finally, Sabrina Moh reiterated that the Government of Spain “will continue to defend the labour rights, purchasing power and professional dignity of public employees”, concluding that “in Melilla, this increase is good news for more than 10,000 families and for the whole city”.
