Persons applying through internal promotion are exempt from the general part of the program, with a proportional reduction in time.

Staff reinforcement with 233 new permanent positions

The resolution exhausts the administrative route and may be appealed for reversal before the Presidency of SERIS within one month, or through contentious-administrative proceedings before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de La Rioja within two months.
