• The group has called on all public sector employees, retired military personnel and civilian retirees to participate in what it described as a comprehensive and escalating mobilisation, with additional steps scheduled to be announced depending on the outcome of the protest.
• The group also called on the government to approve decrees and legislation restoring the value of public sector salaries and pensions to their 2019 equivalent in USD terms.
