Article 67 of the budget maneuver includes two corrections that tighten judges' pay raises, with effects to begin in 2027, according to La Repubblica.
The approved budgetary maneuver introduces limits to judges' salary adjustments, according to a La Repubblica report published on November 1, 2026. The text notes that Article 67 contains two corrections aimed at modulating increases in judges' salaries, with effects expected to start in 2027.
What the article says: Article 67, the maneuver, and judges
According to La Repubblica, Article 67 of the maneuver incorporates two corrections designed to modulate the increases in judges' salaries. The report, authored by Irene Maria Scalise, states that the changes aim to limit the budgetary impact of salary increases in the post-pandemic period and align remuneration review criteria with new fiscal rules.
"Article 67 of the maneuver provides two corrections," the report states.
The publication notes that the detailed content on the mechanisms of the corrections was released in the premium subscribers version of the site, and that a full reading requires access to paid material. La Repubblica also contextualizes the maneuver within the broader framework of public spending containment measures adopted by the government for the coming years.
When it takes effect: effects from 2027
The report indicates that the effects of the corrections come into force from 2027. This means that any limitations or new criteria for judges' salary increases must be applied in the following fiscal years, impacting salary negotiations and budget projections for the judiciary.
The start date (2027) is highlighted by the press as relevant for public accounting and internal career plans, since changes in the timing of pay raises can modify spending projections and administrative decisions in the short and medium term.

What remains unclear
The article signals points that remain insufficiently detailed in the public version:
- The exact formula of the two corrections and how they will affect different categories and levels of judges.
- The projected financial impacts for the State budget in the following years.
- Potential institutional reactions, such as positions from judges' associations or other authorities.
Therefore, the more official documents and normative texts are released, the clearer the practical implementation of Article 67 will be. Following Italian media coverage and official statements will allow updating the analysis when new details are published.
Conclusion La Repubblica notes that Article 67 of the maneuver introduces two corrections to restrict increases in judges' salaries, with effects starting in 2027; the full text is in the newspaper's premium version. The measure is part of a broader cost-containment package that deserves attention from those following Italian politics and public finances.
