The draft law of the General State Budget for 2022 was submitted to the Congress of Deputies on Wednesday, October 13. The document shows salaries earned by public posts. It also shows that all these positions will have a salary increase on that seen in last year’s budget.

Pedro Sánchez is expected to receive 86,542.08 euros in 2022. His three deputy prime ministers will receive only slightly less. Their salaries have been listed as 81,341.16 euros. The ministers in the government are set to receive 76,355.28 euros.
