In Spain, the courts order the hiring of a Moroccan

The High Court of Justice of Galicia has ordered the issuance of a temporary residence permit to a Moroccan to work as an assistant cook in a Moroccan restaurant in Pontevedra, after the public employment service certified that there was no other qualified candidate for the position.

The High Court rejected the request of the Sub-delegation of the Government of Pontevedra, confirming the decision of the Court of First Instance that had recognized this right to the Moroccan, reports Europa PressThe judges explained that, in accordance with article 65.2 of Royal Decree 557/2011, “the national employment status will be considered as allowing hiring in professions not classified as difficult to fill when the employer informs the Immigration Office of the difficulty of filling vacant positions with workers already incorporated into the national labor market.”
