Galicia to Approve Year-End Public Hiring of 700+ Open Posts and 300 Promotions

The move supports a €14.24 billion budget focused on core public services.

Overview

  • Miguel Corgos announced in Parliament that the public employment offer will be approved before year-end, with more than 700 open-access positions and 300 internal promotions.
  • The 2026 regional budget totals €14,240 million, of which €10,588 million is earmarked for health, education and social policy.
  • Officials said almost the entire 2026 budget will rely on common financing as Recovery and Resilience Facility funds decline and face an August execution deadline.
  • The government framed the hiring as part of a generational renewal and skills strategy for a digitally transformed administration, citing projected waves of retirements and the need for AI-ready staff.
  • Corgos defended targeted tax relief for middle- and low-income earners, young people, large families, people with disabilities and single-parent families, and reaffirmed a pledge to double the public housing stock to 8,000 units with 3,000 already underway.
