Uso prolongado del encargo y su efecto sobre el merito en la carrera administrativa

Abstract

This article analyzes the concept of appointment in public administration and its undue extension in relation to the administrative career, which is based on the principle of merit, as well as the consequences this practice has on access to and stability in public employment. It addresses the nature of each of these forms of access to public office, the current legal framework, and relevant jurisprudence, which demonstrate how the widespread use of appointment distorts its exceptional and transitory nature and violates fundamental constitutional principles
