“HD-the judges cut their own salaries”

“the Judges of the Supreme court of Mexico cut their own salaries by 25 percent, after the country’s new president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized for their high salaries.”

“The new president took office in december after a landslide victory in the election. He has cut his own salary by 60 percent, to the equivalent of around 50 000 Swedish kronor a month. The president’s decision that no state employees would earn more than this was stopped, however, by the Supreme court, which referred to the rights of employees.”

“Last year earned HD’s most senior judges, equivalent to approximately 266 000 Swedish crowns a month.”
