Palermo increases allowance for district councillors

Last Updated: May 9, 2024

The article explains that there has been a stop to the doubled payment of attendance fees for district councillors in Italy. The increase in fees had been approved last September, but a recent law passed in January has invalidated the increase, stating that only councillors with decentralized administrative functions are eligible for higher fees. This has caused dissatisfaction among the councillors, with some calling it an injustice. The situation is causing tension just before the European elections, and it remains to be seen how the general secretariat will handle the issue.
