Police officers will hold a symbolic warning protest today demanding higher wages. They insist on an increase of their salaries by at least 10%, which, however, is not included in the draft budget of the state, explained Valentin Popov, chairman of the Trade Union Federation of the Employees in the Ministry of Interior
For now, the protests, also scheduled for 6 July, will take place without interruption of duties - before the start of shifts or during lunch breaks. Meanwhile, the Union Federation has begun preparations for a national protest between the first and second readings of the budget bill if it is not amended.
