- Starting July 1, parliamentary salaries will increase by 606 euros monthly, reaching almost 12,000 euros.
- This automatic annual raise is linked to nominal wage growth and was established in 2014.
- Opposition parties like AfD and the Left strongly oppose the planned extension of this mechanism.
- MPs also receive tax-free allowances to cover expenses related to their parliamentary duties.
