Employees of the National Institute of Statistics are protesting at the Ministry of Finance due to unpaid salary rights won in court. They demand payment for outstanding amounts from 2025 and 2026 and seek adjustments to their salary scale, claiming their pay is among the lowest in public administration. The union accuses authorities of delaying payments mandated by court decisions, which they argue undermines their rights and the institution's stability. They also warn that ongoing personnel issues could impact collaboration with European statistical bodies like Eurostat. The protest is scheduled for November 4, 2026.
