Overview
- The December 30 resolution set cumulative monthly increases—4% from January to July and 3% from August to October—reaching roughly 42% by October 2026, with top salaries near 24 million pesos.
- The measure was signed by Reneé Fernández, Paula Ludueña, Alicia Mercau and Fernando Basanta, without the signature of TSJ president Daniel Mariani or the involvement of the four newly appointed vocales.
- On January 14, Mariani ordered the judiciary’s administration to refrain from liquidating the raises and declared the resolution null due to lack of quorum and missing formal registry.
- Governor Claudio Vidal condemned the hike as a self-award, while the ATE union demanded that the Economy Ministry and the provincial executive refuse authorization of funds to finance it.
- Official estimates indicate the plan would raise the judicial payroll from about 9,700 million to 11,500 million pesos and increase pension outlays from 2,200 million to 3,200 million, as legal challenges and Supreme Court review prolong the institutional standoff.
