Provisional list: 94 admitted and 43 excluded

Among those admitted are, in alphabetical order, Víctor Manuel Agudo Bellón, Rodrigo José Apio Rodrigo, Alberto Arcos Sánchez, Israel Arroyo Barbudo, Iván José Ávila Alcolea and Tomás Ávila Alcolea, completing a list that spans surnames from the letter A to Álvaro Zúñiga Carrasco.

The excluded, led by Carlos Alcolea Collado, Carlos Algaba Gabaldón and Manuel María Aranda Ruiz de la Hermosa, appear identified with the specific reason or reasons for their exclusion, which in several cases are cumulative.

Reasons for exclusion and period for appeals

The causes for exclusion collected in the annex of the resolution are five:

• Failure to provide the annex or it not being signed (rule 3.1).
• Failure to provide proof of payment of the fee (rule 3.1).
• Failure to provide the required qualification (rule 2.1).
• Failure to provide the driving permit (rule 2.1).

Pursuant to point 4.1 of the rules, a period of ten business days is granted to present appeals to the provisional list, counted from the day following the publication in the Official Gazette of the Province. After the correction period has elapsed and the appeals have been reviewed, the final list of admitted and excluded persons will be approved by Mayoral Resolution, in which the date, time, and place for the start of the tests will be indicated. That resolution will likewise be published in the BOP.

Composition of the Qualifying Board

The selection body is composed of the following members:

• Antonio Velasco Márquez, titular president (Chief Sub-inspector of the La Solana City Council).
