Movement (M5S) on Thursday criticised the salaries of European
commissioners, calling them "exorbitant" and a "slap in the face
of more than 100 million in poverty".

Juncker's salary, at 27,436.90 euros per month, is 138% higher
than what the highest Commission official makes.
He said EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini makes
25,845.35 per month, while 2commission vice presidents make
24,852.26 per month, and commissioners make 22,852.26 per month.
