The function reserved exercise by the interim officials after Law 27/2013, of Local Reform

Abstract

The new text of the article 92.3, Act 7/1985, regulating the Local System, by Act 27/2013, rationalization and sustainability of Local Government, has led -at least theoretically- that only career civil servants may exercise functions involving direct or indirect participation in the exercise of public powers or in safeguarding general interests. This issue goes beyond the functions to be exercised by officials as the reserve is also the distinguishing features note regarding labour workforce.

This article analyzes the reasons and issues raised by this original restriction, and the implications it may have in the field of Local Government and in particular the exercise of the functions exercised by interim civil servants.
