Alicia Morales denounces "the subjectivity of being the judge of track who determines to eye if the contestants have committed some 'infraction' in the circuit, with the aggravating one that is not recording with audiovisual means, something that is done in others Town councils "
NOW MURCIA has asked the municipal government for information on the development of the physical tests of the Murcia City Council's firefighting competitions, which are being developed this week with various incidents and complaints from numerous opponents and municipal unions.
Councilor Alicia Morales affirms that Now Murcia "will carefully study the information provided by the Councilor for Modernization of Administration on the development of evidence, incidents and all claims made by opponents, to assess whether we request the annulment of this phase Of the opposition and its subsequent repetition. "
The spokeswoman for Now Murcia points out that the main complaint has to do with the subjectivity that is reigning in the control of this test: "There is a court judge who is the one who determines to eye if the applicant has committed any 'infringement' Place to his disqualification, like treading the line in the high jump, not to reach the mark in the test of climbing the rope or to go down by it sliding.
It has to be taken into account that the court is farther away, and therefore it is in the hands of the subjective perception of a single person to decide the disqualification of the contestants. "
Morales points out that the lack of protection of opponents in this situation is multiplied in the face of the fact that "the test is not being recorded with audio-visual means, as is done in other municipalities, so there is no possibility to review what happened."
The mayor stresses the "serious insecurity" caused by this lack of recording, adding that "neither the public is being allowed to assist the development of the evidence, nor even to the unions, which is totally unjustified."
The Councilwoman denounces that "fudge and improvisation are dominating these oppositions from the outset, playing with all the participating opponents, who have been preparing intensely for years, invest enormous amounts of time and effort, as well as economic resources.
The candidates deserve transparent and fair oppositions, and the City of Murcia is not guaranteeing that they are so. "
Morales adds that in these physical tests there have been other irregularities that have harmed some opponents, "as they have had to wait up to two and a half hours on their assigned schedule to make the circuit."
In addition, an incident occurred yesterday "which is one more sample of the bad organization: a contestant broke his arm and had to wait a long time to be evacuated, in the absence of units of Civil Protection and EMU (Medicalized Emergency Unit) ".
The spokeswoman recalls that "the fudge has been present from the first moment of these oppositions, since in the written part there were test questions that had several valid answers, which has provoked numerous challenges."
Morales also points out that "the logical thing would be that the first test of all was to verify the possible vertigo of the aspirants, as is done in other municipalities."
The councilor concludes that "Now Murcia will analyze in detail the information received on this phase of the opposition, to decide whether to ask for its annulment, something that will happen if we believe that the evidence has not offered sufficient guarantees to the principles of equality, merit and ability Which must govern any opposition.
