Madrid / Valladolid, Jun 26 (EFE) .- Castilla y León has 55 traffic examiners, one less than six years ago, with increases in two provinces, Palencia and Ávila, without variation in Soria and decrease in the rest.
In Palencia the number of examiners has increased by three and in Ávila, by one, while in Valladolid the decrease has been four.
The Government acknowledges that there are currently 128 examiners in Spain less than six years ago and that their number has decreased since 2011 in 42 provinces, while it has increased in four and has remained the same in six.
These are the data that are collected in a parliamentary response from the Executive to the socialist deputy Miguel Ángel Heredia, who was interested in this group, on strike for several days in demand for more personnel and other labor measures.
In fact, today the strikes have continued and, according to the organizers, the Association of Traffic Examiners (Asextra), supported by the CSIF union, the follow-up has been around 80 percent.
According to the Government’s response to the Socialist deputy, the number of examiners has grown only in Palencia (three more), Álava (three more), Alicante (three more), Ávila (one) and Ceuta (one), while there has been kept at the same figures in Albacete, Barcelona, Huesca, Cantabria, Soria and Melilla.
For its part, among the 42 provinces where it decreased the most in absolute terms are Madrid, with 14 less; Cádiz (10), Seville (9), Jaén (6) and Ciudad Real (5).
The Government also explains in its reply that the number of calendar days (that is, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) elapsed since the private driving schools present the request for examination in the Traffic offices until the day on which this evaluation takes place differs according to the provinces.
Thus, up to 10 calendar days it takes a total of 34 centers in the headquarters of Álava, Albacete, Ávila, Badajoz, Burgos, Cáceres, Girona, Guadalajara, Huesca, Jaén, León, Lugo, Murcia, Ourense, Asturias, Palencia, Pontevedra, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Teruel, Bizkaia, Zamora, Zaragoza, Ceuta and Melilla.
With the same term, the local offices of Menorca, Santiago de Compostela, Cartagena, Gijón, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma and Vigo would appear.
Between 10 and 15 calendar days it takes 14 centers of the provincial headquarters of Barcelona, A Coruña, Cuenca, Huelva, Malaga, Navarra, Cantabria, Seville, Tarragona and Valladolid, in addition to the local offices of Ibiza, Sabadell, La Línea de la Concepción and Alcalá de Henares.
And from 16 to 20 calendar days in centers of the headquarters of Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Lleida, Madrid, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while with more than 20 days there are Alicante, Balearic Islands, Castellón, Ciudad Real, Gipuzkoa, La Rioja, Toledo and Valencia and the local offices of Alzira and Talavera.
To alleviate the lack of examining personnel in some headquarters, Traffic has the figure of the itinerant examiner, who, assigned to the central services, travels 11 months a year where there is more shortage.
In addition, a new course has just been called and, therefore, the DGT will soon have 24 new examiners who, after internships, will be able to join the headquarters with the highest demand for exams in summer, a time when reinforcements are most necessary.
Overtime has been authorized in those chiefdoms with specific problems and incentivized temporary attributions have been promoted, according to the Executive.
The following table shows the number of examiners in each province in 2011 and 2017, as well as the difference between both periods:
