Employees of the National Institute of Statistics (INS) protested in front of the Ministry of Finance, demanding a 15% salary increase and overdue payments. They expressed dissatisfaction over frozen wages amid rising living costs and accused the government of salary discrimination. The protests reflect broader discontent in public administration, with other sectors also voicing grievances over budget constraints. Union leaders warned of larger protests if the minimum wage is not increased. INS workers highlighted their struggles with low salaries and the lack of payment for court-awarded rights, emphasizing the need for dialogue with the Finance Minister to resolve these issues.
