Officials from the Alicante Courts region gathered outside the Alicante Palace of Justice on a Friday to present formal demands to the government. The focal point of discussion centers on the Organizational Efficiency Act, a piece of legislation that is currently under consideration in Congress and slated to shape how the regional justice system operates. The gathering reflected a collective stance from multiple unions, signaling a readiness to press for tangible changes as the legislative process moves forward.
The protest was organized by a coalition of unions, including INTERNATIONAL, Intersindical Justicia, CSIF, UGT, and CC OO. Their intention is to sustain public demonstrations in the weeks ahead, ensuring that the government recognizes and addresses their requests as the act proceeds through parliamentary review and debate. This sustained advocacy underscores the unions’ belief that working conditions within the justice sector deserve careful attention and timely action.
Images from the event captured moments of concentration and solidarity in front of the Alicante Courts, illustrating the seriousness with which participants approach the issue. The scene conveyed a sense of unity among those gathered, who stood there to express their concerns about the implications of the legislation for frontline staff and the administration as a whole.
Unions emphasize that the Organizational Efficiency Act should safeguard crucial aspects of the workforce, including negotiated working conditions, appropriate postings, and clearly defined duties. They seek assurances that the total number of jobs within the jurisdiction will not be reduced, and that the quality and reach of essential services remain intact. These points reflect a broader worry about how efficiency measures could affect service delivery to the public.
In addition to safeguarding current staffing and service levels, the unions advocate for career development within the professional ranks and improvements in remuneration. They also call for certain additional payments to be aligned with the national average, arguing that fair compensation is fundamental to attracting and retaining qualified personnel who manage delicate and high-stakes responsibilities in the justice system.
