Spanish military associations meet with politicians regarding risk profession status

Major Spanish military associations, including ASFASPRO, AUME, and UMT, held a meeting with representatives from the PSOE, PP, and Vox parties to discuss personnel policy. The discussions focused on six critical areas, most notably the formal declaration of military service as a high-risk profession and the improvement of remuneration.

Political representatives from the three parties expressed agreement regarding the declaration of the military as a risk profession and the necessity of increasing pay, though they maintained different nuances on implementation. The associations also advocated for legislative reforms to the Military Career Law, the Troop and Seaman Law, the Geographic Mobility Law, and the Organic Law on the Rights and Duties of the Armed Forces to dignify the profession and improve recruitment and career development.
