La Bisbal d’Empordà Town Council

July-2024

Following a report filed, an examination of a competitive examination launched for the definitive filling of a position of legal technician was conducted, in which it was stated that a person had been selected thanks to the merits obtained through a previous irregular appointment as an interim civil servant. Having examined the selection procedure, no objective signs of favoritism were observed in the design or correction of the tests corresponding to the competitive examination phase; no irregularities were detected in the composition of the qualifying panel, and, with regard to the competitive examination phase, it was verified that according to the score obtained, even if all the merits alleged in the professional experience section were discounted, the appointed candidate would continue to be the applicant with the highest rating. Otherwise, from the actions taken in relation to her appointment as an interim civil servant, no elements of preferential treatment were detected. However, and in view of the documentation provided, it was considered appropriate to send a communication to the Town Council in order to recall the importance of providing all personnel selection processes with the maximum possible publicity and participation, even those undertaken on an urgent basis, as well as the importance of preserving all the documentation that must be included in the corresponding administrative file, in its entirety, when the requirements for publicity and public participation have been attenuated, in some way, by the urgent nature of the procedure in question.
