There is a public administration that is little known to many citizens, but vital to the daily lives of the regions, where filling vacant jobs is becoming a true odyssey. Civil servants are leaving, lured by significantly better salaries in other institutions, even if they are miles away from where they live. We are talking about the regional councils, a tool for territorial rebalancing that reports to the Generalitat (Catalan government) and is responsible for tasks such as water purification, social services, school cafeterias, and school transportation in many medium-sized and small towns.
