PGR Sends 24% Pay-Raise Bill for MPU and CNMP Staff to Chamber of Deputies

Overview

• The bill grants three cumulative 8% adjustments effective on July 1 of 2026, 2027 and 2028.
• Official estimates project budget impacts of R$227.8 million in 2026, R$641.6 million in 2027 and about R$1.06 billion in 2028.
• Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet asserts the MPU has the budget capacity to absorb the increases under fiscal rules.
• The measure amends Law 13.316/2016 and is justified as partial recovery of purchasing power and as keeping parity with Judiciary careers.
• If enacted, top commissioned posts would rise to roughly R$23,040 by 2028, and the proposal has been filed as PL 5.120/2025 awaiting committee assignment.
