The decree, which had previously been published in the Official Gazette, was revoked through a new regulation titled “Decree With the Force of Law on the Repeal of Decrees Concerning the Reorganization of the 2026 Cost-of-Living Allowance.”

Protests had been ongoing since last Monday following the publication of the initial decree outlining changes to the cost-of-living allowance.

Trade unions had made the withdrawal of the decree a precondition for engaging in negotiations with the government. They have also called for the related bill to be discussed in a parliamentary committee.

However, according to information from within parliament, the government is planning to push its revised proposal through the General Assembly directly, without referring it to committee.
