Trade unions accuse the government of double standards in making the budgetary apparatus more efficient by creating a post of deputy secretary-general.

The National Trade Union Confederation 'Cartel Alfa' and other trade union organizations criticize the Government for hypocrisy, accusing it of creating a new post of dignitary at the General Secretariat, in contrast with the speeches about reducing the budgetary apparatus. Despite abolishing a post of secretary of state, the unions say the move will only increase bureaucracy and create redundant positions, undermining confidence in public administration. The changes are seen as strengthening political power at the expense of administrative efficiency.
