El Gobierno prepara medidas contra el abuso de temporalidad en el empleo público y acota el problema a 200.000 interinos

The Spanish government is preparing measures to combat abuse of temporary employment in the public sector, which has been a significant issue for over two decades. Approximately one-third of public sector employees are temporary, a situation that has not been adequately addressed over the years and has led to several warnings from Brussels and the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The current Executive maintains several fronts open with the European Commission over this matter. Consequently, the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, led by Óscar López, has analyzed public service rosters and estimates the abuse of temporary employment to be below 200,000 workers, those who have been in such a situation for over three years, among the more than 900,000 without a fixed contract.

To mitigate the situation, the department is already outlining a set of measures in collaboration with the autonomous communities.
