For those who will just skim the title: the part of the salary being cut was never meant to be a permanent part of the salary package, and was meant to help pay for relocation to Bogotá as part of the transition into being a member of Congress. The salary has now dropped from ~14k USD/month to just shy of 10k USD/month, and the Colombian Congress isn’t happy about it. I know well paid latin-American software developers working 2 jobs who still don’t make that much a month, by comparison.

Right? Very politically charged title. Death to the IDF and all, but come on.
