Puerto del Rosario wins in court: judge fully dismisses Intersindical Canaria's appeal against the 2025 Public Employment Offer
1. Key points
The Administrative Court fully dismisses Intersindical Canaria's appeal.
The ruling confirms the Town Hall acted in accordance with the law.
Costs are imposed on the appellant party.
The court recognises the correct identification of posts and the existence of collective bargaining.
This is not the first favourable ruling for the Town Hall against the same union's challenges.
2. The news in detail
Puerto del Rosario Town Hall has received a new final favourable ruling on the 2025 Public Employment Offer (OPE), after the Administrative Court dismissed the contentious-administrative appeal filed by Intersindical Canaria against the municipal resolution approving the OPE.
The ruling fully dismisses the appeal and confirms that the Town Hall acted in accordance with the law, rejecting the various grounds of challenge raised. The court also orders the appellant to pay costs.
The ruling endorses, among other points, that the 2025 OPE correctly identified the posts included, respected the legal system of scales and subscales, distinguished between civil-servant and labour-contract staff as well as between open turn and internal promotion, and was properly justified through the reports included in the file. The ruling also rejects the claim of an alleged lack of collective bargaining, noting that the Town Hall showed bargaining willingness, that the proposal was submitted to the General Negotiation Board and that the appellant union had the opportunity to make its case.
The Town Hall recalls that this is not the first favourable ruling obtained against challenges promoted by Intersindical Canaria and regrets that certain court actions are contributing to delays in administrative procedures aimed at improving municipal organisation and strengthening public services.
3. Voices and statements
“The favourable rulings show that the Town Hall is acting correctly and that attempts to paralyse municipal management benefit neither workers nor citizens. The Town Hall reaffirms its commitment to defending the general interest and to driving forward the public-employment processes needed to deliver a more effective, orderly administration at the service of the municipality's residents.”

4. Context and background
The appeal had been filed by Intersindical Canaria against the municipal resolution approving Puerto del Rosario's 2025 Public Employment Offer (OPE). The Las Palmas Administrative Court — competent for appeals against administrative acts of the Fuerteventura capital's town hall — issued the final ruling in May 2026. The OPE annually defines the public-employment posts called by the Town Hall and covers both civil-servant and labour-contract staff, in open turn and internal promotion.
5. What it means for Fuerteventura
For people living in Fuerteventura and depending on municipal services — civil registry, mobility, urban planning, local police — the stability of Town Hall hiring directly affects response times and the quality of public attention. The judicial confirmation of the 2025 OPE unblocks the selection processes and contributes to stabilising the municipal staff of Puerto del Rosario, the island's capital and one of the main administrative hubs of all Fuerteventura.
