OPINION | Gent of Dénia
People from Dénia observe with perplexity the procedures that the local government is imposing on those who depend on it to exercise their professions for which they prepared and passed the competitive examinations. We have not taken a position on the issue of the "language requirement", we support the 2 co-official languages of our Community. But everything has a limit and on this occasion, we believe with objective criteria, that they have exceeded the limits extremely.
In 2019, the government team said that it was THEIR POLITICAL WILL to strictly apply the Valencian language requirement. They have even done so on an exclusive basis for those who do not have the Valencian qualification that they consider appropriate for the position they occupy, some even having passed competitive examinations more than 15 years ago, it is easy to say. It seemed like an aberration to us, but at that time the PSOE of Dénia enjoyed an absolute majority and was not accountable to anyone, not even to common sense.
Now, the European Union is demanding that Spain carry out a "stabilisation process for temporary positions". They must be converted into career civil servants, due to the fraud in law that the administrations have caused to their workers. The deadline to complete this process ends in December 2024. But Dénia, almost the only town in our Community, also requires compliance with the language requirement in order to apply.
In the town hall there are workers who have been in positions won by opposition for more than 10, 15 and 20 years. Without complaints in the performance of their work; with unanimous support and impeccable in their professional practice. Now, the language requirement is required. Some have the C1 title, being occluded from the call lists for "not being in possession of the certificate corresponding to the one indicated in the knowledge level table that accredits knowledge of Valencian." Published in the BOP no. 170 of 4/9/2024.
This leads us to demand answers to the following questions:
What will happen to these excluded people? Will they be fired after doing their job well for years, just because they do not have a degree? They are not being given the option to pass the exam. They passed their exam with all the requirements required at that time.
According to European legislation, when a temporary worker has been working in the public administration for more than 3 years, he must pass specific tests to stabilize his job as a career civil servant. This has not happened in the administration of our country in 25 years, but, in addition, in Dénia, obstacles are added to workers who are already fraudulent in law. No municipality in the Community is acting like this. Imposing the language requirement for stabilization is a practice only of your government. It is not even in line with the policies of the current Generalitat, they are condemned to be revised. But, along the way, you sentence a group of great professionals just for imposing YOUR POLITICAL WILL.
Have you thought about the psychological damage, insecurity, depression and anxiety that you are causing in these excellent professionals? There are workers who are just a few years away from retirement. Many of them are at a difficult age to find a new job. They, like most of us, have mortgages to pay, children, elderly relatives to care for and now an added problem, THEIR POLITICAL WILL. They are threatened with being left without work after having passed selective processes and with years of exemplary and flawless work performance, despite their impositions. What kind of treatment is that? Why has it not been prioritized, as in so many places in the Valencian Community, to preserve labor integrity as a priority, for which this Law exists, to facilitate the transition that should have been made many years ago or at least use less imposing forms that would lead to stabilization and not destabilization? Because that is what they are doing, DESETABILIZING many City Hall workers.
This situation has forced these workers to be involved in legal proceedings to defend their jobs, spending thousands of euros that many of them did not have to bear to cover this financial burden. Don't they know how much such a long legal process costs? As long as the legal process is in progress, they cannot be dismissed. But what about afterwards?
They have no empathy for the workers. They are not capable of negotiating aptitude tests to stabilize the positions of these workers. Or is it a way of getting rid of professionals who are not in their line of work?
The people of Dénia know that they are in judicial proceedings, in the 2nd Instance. Some of these judgments will be issued shortly, but we urge them to reconsider their position, not to apply the language requirement at all costs and even less so with retroactive effect, as is the case, trying to take advantage of the Stabilisation processes to impose themselves in a dictatorial manner. Remember: RECTIFYING IS FOR THE WISE and that they have already generated too much insecurity and pain for many valid people with the imposition of THEIR POLITICAL WILL at all costs.
Any person with common sense who is not infected by ideology will understand that the writing is not without any lack of logic, quite the opposite. But the problem is that society is very polarized and blinded by ideologies as if that would save their lives, assuming the most disparate fanaticisms. The herd feeling accompanies the lack of personal depth very well.
An article with many lies. The civil servants who do not have the title have 5 years to be able to work for FREE. I the very great majority ho ha fet.
Flying is power. It is discovered that Gent de Dénia has become GENT DE VOX. Imposant the unique thought.
Do you read yourself?
If they cannot address a citizen in Valencian after 15 years, they are not doing their job properly.
People of Ciudadanos, that is common sense
If you travel 10,15, 20 years to Germany, and you don't speak Germany, to France, you don't speak French, to England, and you don't speak English, to the ancient REGNE OF VALÈNCIA, to the COUNTRY OF VALENCIA, to the COMUNITAT VALENCIANA, and to the VALENCIA COUNTRY. You have a problem and we don't miss the point. Good day.
Are you comparing national languages with those of a region? If you work in Brittany (an ancient Kingdom) and you know French but you don't know Breton (a Celtic language), that's fine, and if you work in Schleswig-Holstein and you know German but you don't know Frisian or Danish, that's fine too. That's the difference from the political vulgarity in which we find ourselves immersed and where regional languages are used as a weapon and a generator of differences instead of as a cultural enrichment.
