The Spanish Government will today approve a public employment offer (OEP) of between 39,000 and 40,000 places for the General Administration of the State, the administration of justice, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the armed forces. It will constitute a new public employment offer record and will be 20% more than the 34,151 places on last year’s ordinary offer, which was also an unprecedented public employment offer
To these figures, it is necessary to add an additional number of places called stabilization, that is to say, conversion of temporary employment into permanent employment. In 2022 there were 10,636.
The Spanish Government will approve it this morning in one of the last Councils of Ministers of the legislature and after having reached an agreement yesterday with the unions CSIF and the UGT, while, on the other hand, CC.OO. has departed from the consensus arguing lack of data. The truth is that the Treasury is saving the details for this morning, and the information it provided to the unions yesterday is limited to this increase of 20% compared to 2022, an increase referred to the ordinary offer.
From the unions they recalled that the ordinary offer in the General Administration of the State last year was 24,600 places, adding those of free entry (15,338) and those of internal promotion (9,261). To that amount were added the stabilization offers (10,636), then those corresponding to the administration of justice, armed forces, Police and Civil Guard. 2022 global total: 44,787.
The agreement agreed yesterday with the unions also includes the call for 2,500 places for Social Security, which will be used both to improve attention to the public and to strengthen the management of the minimum vital income (IMV). Precisely the objective of the call is to strengthen the capacity of the State Administration at a time when the overwork of the pandemic has made its weaknesses more evident than ever.
To the places for the General Administration of the State, it will be necessary to add the increase in those intended for justice, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Armed Forces.
Both CSIF and the UGT have endorsed the agreement despite the lack of information provided by the Treasury, which is keeping it for today’s Council of Ministers. Specifically, CSIF points out that places will increase by 20% compared to the offer made last year, with the creation of net employment, above retirements, as the union had claimed. He also adds that “the offer for C1 and C2 civil servants will be increased by more than 30% and even by 25% for Social Security staff, up to 2,500 places.
For its part, the UGT also highlights the reinforcement of Social Security, and also points out that places will have to be included to provide permanence to the minimum vital income management program, which has already become structural with the pass of time.
The lack of detailed information annoyed these two unions, but it did not prevent them from giving their endorsement. This is not the case of CC.OO., which does not assume it due to a lack of data and also because “it does not guarantee the public service to citizens”. He points out that the increase indicated, 20%, “is not real” and that “no measures are established to guarantee the creation of net public employment, nor to promote internal promotion and the professional career of the staff public They also demand extraordinary offers for areas with more vacancies and multi-year offers to anticipate the demand for staff generated by retirements.
