A 21-year-old bilbaine with autism may become a Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council official if he passes the exams, according to the Administrative Court No. 1 of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

In a car, the City Council has ordered the young person to be provisionally admitted to the selective process for admission as acareer official, that is, to be treated like any other candidate .



The young man underwent initial examinationsfora  of the 16 places in the competition for service assistant , but the City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz took his case to court on the grounds that it did not meet the requirements of the OPE.

The bases require accreditation of an intellectual disability equal to or greater than 33%. The problem arose when the report of the Council for the Assessment of Disabilities described his disability as "non-intellectual", which the sentence has described as a defect. The City Council used the foral report to exclude them from the list of approvals.

The young man proved to have a higher mentaldisability , 49%, affecting his mental faculties, but the City Council did not ask the Council for a new qualification, so the young man's family went to justice.

The judge in Vitoria-Gasteiz proved the family right and ruled on 3 October this year. In that sentence, he ordered the City Council to accept the young man provisionally into the selection process. The City Council filed an appeal, but now themagistrate has ordered the execution of the sentence.

However, the City Council could challenge this order within the next five days and also lodged a new appeal with the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country. Anyway, for the time being, he must take the young billiard as a candidate.
