El Gobierno prepara medidas contra el abuso de temporalidad en el empleo público y acota el problema a 200.000 interinos
El Ministerio de López negocia con las comunidades un sistema de alertas y sanciones a los gestores públicos que incurran en irregularidades
Spain grapples with a serious issue of temporal employment abuse in the public sector for over two decades. Approximately one in every three public employees is temporary. This ongoing problem has not been sufficiently addressed over the years, leading to repeated warnings from Brussels and the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The current government has several fronts open with the European Commission over this matter.
Consequently, the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Public Function, led by Óscar López, has conducted an analysis of public bodies' staff lists and estimates the abuse of temporal employment to be below 200,000 workers. These are the individuals who have been in temporary positions for over three years, among the more than 900,000 who currently lack a fixed-term contract.
To alleviate the situation, the department is already drafting a set of measures in coordination with the autonomous communities.
