Portugal's Constitutional Court (that acts like a Supreme Court, ensuring Constitution is respected in all legal decisions in the country and legislative documents) has been clear - cutting public administration wages is not the way. Something that I fully agree, as it is a downgrading of capabilities at State level - it is not motivating, it just pushes out of the door the best talent there is in the State bureaucracy,... For me, the solution has always been to implement a meritocracy system in public administration (including performance evaluation, of course) and ensure that the worst performing talent is cut. I believe that a significant part of the solution of the solution for the budgetary crisis in Portugal is public spending cut through simplification (and thus headcount, as I am saying here) and tax softening, to ensure economic growth.
