The Provincial Council of Valencia appoints and dismisses temporary staff in four announcements

The Provincial Council of Valencia has formalized a new round of appointments and dismissals of temporary staff, the political trust positions that the institution remunerates using provincial funds. The movements are published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 214, corresponding to November 6, 2026, in section I dedicated to the Council itself. The four announcements carry the references 2026/13557, 2026/13601, 2026/13606, and 2026/13612, and all originate from the same service: Human Resources Management and Organization.

Four announcements and five decisions in a single gazette

The summary of the provincial gazette, corresponding to year CXCIV, organizes the four announcements within the Provincial Council of Valencia block, before the municipal and private announcements. The content of each reference is as follows:

• 2026/13557: announcement regarding the dismissal of temporary staff.
• 2026/13601: announcement regarding the appointment of temporary staff.
• 2026/13606: announcement regarding the appointment and dismissal of temporary staff, grouping both decisions.
• 2026/13612: announcement regarding the appointment of temporary staff.

The result is a package of five personnel decisions—three appointments and two dismissals—concentrated in a single insertion and resolved by the same administrative unit. The coincidence in the publication date indicates a joint reorganization of the trust team rather than isolated movements.

The regime of political trust

Temporary staff are governed by Article 20 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the bases of the local regime, which defines them as those performing functions expressly qualified as trust or special advisory roles. Their appointment and dismissal are discretionary and correspond to the governing bodies, and they automatically cease when the authority that appointed them leaves office.

This discretionary nature coexists with two limits: the number, characteristics, and remuneration of these positions must be fixed by the Plenary of the corporation, and their allocations must be recorded in the budget. In the Provincial Council of Valencia, as in the rest of the local administrations, these positions appear in the list of job positions and are financed with the institution’s own resources, not with earmarked transfers.

Trust and professional career, in the same service

The Human Resources Management and Organization block of the same number also includes an announcement unrelated to political appointments: the final approval of the list of admitted and excluded persons and the date of the first exam of the open competitive process for an industrial engineer position, call 31/24, with reference 2026/13559. This coincidence illustrates the two paths of access to the provincial staff: selection by competitive examination for structural positions and direct appointment for advisory roles.

The bulletin can be verified at the official electronic address of the body, bop.dival.es, and includes the secure verification code BOPV-20261106-214. The edition is managed by the Provincial Council of Valencia, located at calle Juan de Garay, 23, in València.

The relevance of this publication is twofold for readers: it allows for the documentary tracking of direct appointment positions, which do not undergo selection processes, and makes it easier to verify how many people make up the provincial institution’s trusted team and on what dates it is renewed. Since these are remunerations funded by provincial funds, the detail of each appointment and dismissal published in the bulletin is the official reference for any subsequent oversight by the opposition or the citizenry.
