This statement comes after the Catarroja judge warned of a possible "great delay" in the investigation, following communication from the Ministry of Justice regarding the suppression of four support staff positions starting June 30.
“"On the part of the Generalitat, no type of delay will be generated. We will continue to provide the support required by the Catarroja court with the necessary material means and human resources to guarantee the correct instruction of the case. Our commitment to offering a quality Administration of Justice is indisputable."
Minister Martínez explained that the restructuring measure, which will convert 200 judicial reinforcements into structural positions starting July 1, is part of a plan to streamline and modernize the Administration of Justice. This plan seeks to stabilize workforces, reduce temporary employment, and improve working conditions for staff, responding to a historical demand from trade unions.
The identification of positions has been carried out using an objective criterion of seniority, prioritizing those positions that have been perpetuated through successive renewals. With the creation of these 200 stable positions, the aim is to strengthen the system's capacity and ensure a more effective provision of public justice services.
The Ministry of Justice has emphasized that the transition will be managed in an orderly manner, minimizing the impact on professionals and citizens. Furthermore, the average time to fill temporary positions in the courts has been reduced from 25 to 8 days thanks to a new employment exchange management system activated in November, filling over 250 positions in three months. Progress has also been made in stabilizing the workforce of the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (IML) of Valencia, creating six structural positions for psychologists, six for social workers, three for forensic doctors, one facultative, two managers, and four processors, in addition to stabilizing two forensic doctor positions.
