• The ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) points to Spain for abuse in hiring staff for indefinite non-fixed positions.
• Despite the self-celebration of the Government for having reduced labor temporality following the reform, the temporality rate in the public sector remains too high.
• The CJEU ruling responds to a decade of protests and could lead to the conversion to permanent positions of an undetermined number of workers.
• It suggests focussing on the productivity of the workers rather than just their number.
• Efficient restructuring of the public sector is essential to reduce spending and improve the administration's functioning.

Conclusion: The CJEU ruling reveals the need for Spain to address the high rate of temporality in its public sector and restructure it to improve its efficiency.
