Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would amend the Basic Statute of Public Employees to create, exceptionally and only once, a special admission route for corps, scales or categories that have had no public employment offer since January 1, 2010, or only an insignificant one.
  2. Temporary staff (Personal interino Temporary public employee who fills a position provisionally until it is filled through a selection process.) could take part if, when the call is published, they can prove at least ten years of service in the corps, scales or categories covered by the call.
  3. The selection system would be a Concurso oposición Selection system combining a merits stage (courses, experience) and an eliminatory exam stage., with a single eliminatory theoretical and practical test related to the usual tasks of the positions. Up to 70% of the places in public employment offers could be reserved for this special route.
  4. The bill justifies the measure by high temporary employment in public administrations, by the replacement caps that limited public employment offers, and by Court of Justice of the European Union case law on the abuse of temporary hiring. It cites Constitutional Court rulings that allow preferential treatment in exceptional, justified cases.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
