The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV) has annulled the application for the linguistic profile C1 in the places of Public Works Warden of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia

The High Court of Justice ofthe Basque Country (TSJPV) has annulled the fact that 91% of the places of Public Works Warden of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia had a linguistic profile C1 because "it doubled the rate of compliance", according to the Basque Country's CC. OO.

In a statement, the union has explained that the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV) has issued a new ruling revoking the exclusion of interim staff for failing to prove the Basque C1 requirement in the posts of Public Employment Warden. Ten of the 11 places called (91%) have been declared "disproportionate and therefore discriminatory for those jobs that require a Bachelor's degree".

CC. OO. has stressed that the excluded workers "had been working on temporary contracts for years" and accredited the language profiles B1 and B2, and has argued that "linguistic and labour rights are perfectly compatible, respecting sociolinguistic proportionality".

"According to article 25 of Decree 9/2024 of the Basque Government, the rate of compulsory compliance by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia is currently 46.47% of the places, which has not been met in the annulled call," he criticized.

The union also denounces thatthe stabilization process carried out by the E US Government for municipal secretaries and comptrollers "has excluded 30 per cent of the most meritorious staff because they do not have the C2 language profile , the highest level ".

The union has described as' scandalous' the result of the 'extraordinary stabilisation' process carried out by the Basque Government for the municipal secretariat and the intervention, 'which will take place following the appointments in practice last Friday, 14 March'.

The union regrets that, as it noted when the bases were approved in 2022, the result has been "linguistic exclusion, leaving out 30% of workerswith the highest qualifying merits in the competition ".

He adds that they are workers who have been in their jobs for decades and who had a C1 language certificate. However, the union criticizes the fact that 96% of the places required a "disproportionate" C2 and regrets that, as a result, interim workers who exceed the maximum computable work experience (20 years) have been excluded. As a result, it criticises the fact that three people with zero days of experience in these qualified positions have reached fixation.
