Following the controversy that occurred in the city of Toledo regarding the recent selection process to fill the positions of administrative assistants in the City Hall, the government team commissioned a report from technicians to clarify what happened. The alarms went off when, … During the second test, a candidate detected that the answer sheet given to her was partially completed, which gave rise to suspicions of manipulation during the exam. The Municipal Socialist Group also demanded explanations for these events. It was last November 28 when an exam was held at the IES Universidad Laboral de Toledo to fill 11 administrative assistant positions at the City Hall of this city.
However, the report of Internal affairs department of the municipal council clarified the facts, ruling out “cany possibility of irregularity. According to the report accessed by ABC, the incident was the product of an “isolated administrative error.” During the test, an applicant detected that her answer sheet, provided by the court, contained previous marks from previous use. This error was due, as they point out, to the accidental reuse of leftover sheets from previous processes, a common procedure in selective processes for reasons of efficiency and economy.
The Registrar of the Court, after being informed of the situation, act immediately and removed the answer sheet, handing a new one to the candidate. Furthermore, at the end of the test it was verified that the answers written on the sheet did not coincide with the questions of the exam nor did they give a significant mark, thus negating any attempt at favor. In fact, the rating of the partially completed form is only 0.5 out of 10, which reinforces the thesis of the absence of manipulation.
Classroom under surveillance
Surveillance in the classroom was also reinforced by the statement of the class supervisor, who explained that the tables were freely occupied by the applicants and that the incident was detected and handled in a transparent and timely manner.
The report concludes that There was no violation of the principles of equality or modification of the selection process, There is therefore no reason to cancel the exam. Despite this, complaints continue to arise, mainly from those who question the integrity of the process.
This incident, according to the socialists, adds even more doubts about the management of the selective processes under the government of the People’s Party, a situation that has already been repeated several times. The Municipal Socialist Group reiterated its demand to guarantee transparency in all administrative processes of the Municipal Council to avoid future setbacks.
