Overview

• The call covers 22 secretaries, 67 interventor-treasurers and 129 secretary-interventors to fill critical roles in Catalan town councils.
• Selection and training will be overseen by the Escola d’Administració Pública de Catalunya, requiring candidates to hold a relevant higher education degree and Catalan proficiency.
• This initiative stems from a bilateral commission agreement with the Spanish State in February and represents the first step toward restoring competences lost under the 2013 Local Administration Rationalization and Sustainability Law.
• Sixty percent of Catalonia’s town councils currently lack permanently appointed certified staff, leaving roughly 1,000 key roles uncovered.
• The Generalitat aims to reduce high temporary staffing levels and attract young talent, with plans for a second phase to expand the decentralized call.
