The decision follows the removal of a force majeure reason that temporarily halted the process, allowing candidates like Mónica Esther Borges Palmés to proceed with their contracts.

The government has finalized the recruitment of specific individuals, including Borges Palmés, who were previously under temporary contracts, and will now formalize their status as permanent staff.
