Overview
- All four political groups unanimously approved a motion to restore operational normality by urgently launching selection processes to fill 12 firefighter vacancies before year‑end.
- The measure cites a state budget clause that allows creating additional posts needed to meet the Municipal Emergency Plan without being limited by the usual replacement cap.
- CC.OO., which represents most police and firefighters, boycotted the November 26 meeting and maintains it will not negotiate unless the municipal proposal changes.
- Mayor Goretti Sanmartín defends the plan as a 20% increase in overtime pay, giving examples of €3.69 more per extra hour and €6.45 more for night and holiday work, calling the amounts relevant.
- Fire and police units remain below minimum staffing after a month of shortfalls, forcing reliance on nearby municipalities and limiting the ability to handle two simultaneous emergencies.
