Despite questions from the Executive Branch, the Labor and Social Security Commission of the Congress of the republic approved, by majority, the opinion issued on bills 7107, 7156 and 7267, which repeals Legislative Decree 1023, which provides for the creation of Servir, as well as Law 30057, Civil Service Law.
The working group, which shares the debate on the project with the Commission on Decentralization, Regionalization, Local Governments and Modernization of State Management, also hopes that a “tripartite commission” will be created to determine the fate of the current regulations that ensure the quality of services in the State labor regimes.
Servir expressed his concern and warned that it is counterproductive for Peru’s aspirations to join the OECD, in addition to compromising a meritocracy career system recognized by the IDB itself.
For the organization in chapel, its elimination would affect the achievements obtained so that Peru have public policies aimed at the modernization of the State, national competitiveness, integrity and the fight against corruption.
However, Congressmen advocate a proposal for “improvement and unification of labor regimes”and existing services in the State, with “respect for labor rights, social security and the right to collective bargaining.”
“They destroyed Sunedu, meritocracy in basic education, progress in political reform, and now they are going for meritocracy in the public sector, destroying Servir. “This Congress is not going to stop until it destroys everything that sounds like quality and demand,” said former PCM head Mirtha Vásquez.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) declined to comment on the initiative. Instead, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM), through Servir itself, stated that it is “inefficient and unnecessary”, and is also an exclusive competence of the Executive Branch. Along these lines, he warned that the meritocratic Civil Service constitutes “one of the five pillars of the National Policy of Modernization of the State”, and that the controversies today in the Civil Service Court would remain up in the air.
“Let us not allow a majority in Congress to institutionalize mediocrity as a rule in public management,” supported, for her part, former Minister of Education Flor Pablo.
Civil Service Law could disappear
They voted in favor of eliminating Servir the benches of the Magisterial Bloc, Peru Libre and Together for Peru, in addition to the non-grouped Carlos Alva and Jaime Quito.
The Confederation of State Workers of Peru (CTE) considered that Servir has not given the results promised 12 years ago regarding meritocracy in the public sector.
