Overview
- President Salvador Illa’s government has set up the CARE advisory council, chaired by Carles Ramió, alongside an interdepartmental commission that must assess implementation feasibility within four months.
- The Parlament is slated to vote today on a “right to error” change shielding vulnerable citizens from repaying benefits granted by mistake and protecting public workers acting in good faith.
- Early actions include a 17‑point emergency package and the acceleration of roughly 30 priority procedures within a target of simplifying 170 of about 2,400, with the end of mandatory prior appointments for in‑person services included.
- The reform pushes full digitalization with a new Directorate General for Artificial Intelligence and staff training aimed at widespread AI use by 2028, with safeguards for transparency and traceability.
- Medium‑ to long‑term proposals include a new public‑employment law to cut hiring times and modernize selection—psychometric tests, AI‑screened CVs, practical exams, and a training course—plus professionalized senior posts with fixed terms and partial performance pay.
