The Ministry of Justice has announced the creation of four structural positions for the Catarroja court investigating the DANA case, thus ensuring the continuity of human resources after the judge's warning about potential delays.

This measure, communicated by the Ministry of Justice, comes just hours after the judge in charge of the DANA case expressed concern about the suppression of support staff, which could affect the pace of the investigation. Minister Nuria Martínez has assured that the Generalitat "guarantees" the maintenance of the necessary personnel.

"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."

The decision is part of a broader plan to streamline the Administration of Justice of the Valencian Community, with the aim of consolidating a "more modern, agile, and efficient" model. According to the Ministry, the 200 reinforcement positions that will be eliminated will become structural starting next July 1.

"With the creation of 200 stable positions in the workforce, we are going to strengthen the capacity of the system, directly contributing to a more effective and sustainable provision of the public service of Justice."
