The PSOE in Nerja has denounced the procedures used by the Council to select and hire 69 lifeguards for the beaches in the municipality during the summer period.
The PSOE claim that the Council did not allow sufficient time for people to lodge objections as Saturdays and Sundays were included in allotted time period. Also, they claim that around two hundred of the candidates selected did not, in some way, meet the required standards, including with regard to academic qualifications.
The Council, naturally, insists that the selection process was strict and legal and was unanimously approved by the Unions.
The lifeguards have now started their work on the beaches in the municipality.
