• Taxes The "fine rain" strategy of the Treasury to "raise awareness" among taxpayers and boost collection

  • Public Function Officials begin to apply their 'light' oppositions: "The Government wants to include close people"

The high officials of the Administration fear the assault of the Government to the Public Function.

In fact, they denounce that the Executive of Pedro Sánchez

has in fact begun its takeover

, and the warning no longer comes only from the Treasury inspectors as this newspaper has already published.

Now the whole of the Federation of Associations of the Superior Bodies of the General State Administration (Fedeca) is doing it, which does not hesitate to point out that the reform that the Government is applying of internal promotion and the system of oppositions goes directly against the independence of officials.

"With the reduction in the level of evidence, the greater subjectivity in the promotion processes and the possibility of establishing politicized courts,

the managers who up to now enjoy independence will lose it

," says María Jesús Esteban, Senior Administration Technician of the Social Security.

"We will see a debate on whether or not public service is something indefinite and unfortunately it will return to something very similar to

the much reviled 19th century layoffs

that gave the country such bad results," Julio Ransés Pérez Boga emphasizes the same idea. , President of the Association of State Treasury Inspectors (IHE).

Pérez Boga refers to that system by which officials changed at the same time that governments did.

And not the directly appointed positions, but the entire framework of the Administration that right now is maintained regardless of the color of the Executive and that, according to the complaint, is going to succumb to politicization.

The first step in taking control, they denounce from Fedeca, are the

Iceta

light oppositions.

Those that prioritize "

aptitudes and attitudes

" over memorization, as the short-lived Minister of Public Service and current head of Culture has affirmed so many times, and that the elite of civil servants denounces as lowering the level of civil servants.

And the second is the promotion systems within the Administration, which substantially reduces the subject matter to be studied and establishes much simpler multiple choice exams.

This process also contemplates the establishment of the aforementioned "politicized" courts that will make a "subjective" assessment of the candidates to be promoted.

"

It will mean the elimination of the A1 level

," continues Pérez Boga, referring to the highest level of civil servants.

In his opinion, there will be no candidates who go to the free turn since it will be even easier to access those positions through internal promotion, and that is where the Government will be able to mold and adjust the elite to its liking.

And how easy will this new internal promotion process be?

The Association of State Management Technicians explains it as follows.

«You go from studying 83 topics and carrying out four different exercises with a considerably high level of demand,

to studying only 16 topics and carrying out a test without penalty

for wrong answers.

Consequently, this process will allow access to a higher body for people with an insufficient degree of preparation who will not be able to perform their function well as civil servants of the A1 subgroup.
