Susana Mora Murcia named head of the Gaming Service of Castilla‑La Mancha

The Ministry of Finance, Public Administrations and Digital Transformation of Castilla‑La Mancha has awarded the post of head of the Gaming Service to Susana Mora Murcia after upholding a reposición (administrative) appeal and annulling the decision that had declared the post vacant. The resolution awarding the post was signed on 5 October 2026 and published in the Diario Oficial de Castilla‑La Mancha on 14 October 2026.

Origin of the procedure and chronology

The public procedure to fill the post began in March 2026 by means of an open appointment process under the free designation system. In July 2026 the Administration decided to declare the post vacant after concluding that the candidates did not meet the necessary suitability to perform the role.

Following that decision, on 6 August 2026 an optional appeal for reconsideration (recurso potestativo de reposición) was filed against the resolution that had left the post vacant. The appeal alleged non‑compliance with article 21.1 of Decree 74/2002, which governs the filling of posts in the autonomous community.

The Ministry upheld the appeal on 17 September 2026 and ordered the proceedings to be reverted to the stage prior to the challenged resolution, with the purpose of issuing a new decision in accordance with the applicable rules. In execution of that order, the Administration issued a new resolution awarding the post of head of the Gaming Service to Susana Mora Murcia.

The resolution: dates and effects

The resolution formalising the appointment was signed on 5 October 2026 and published on 14 October 2026 in the Diario Oficial de Castilla‑La Mancha. The awarded post corresponds to code 11302.

The appointment produces the economic and administrative effects provided for in the resolution of the call published in July 2026. In other words, the remuneration and administrative rights associated with the post will apply as established in that call.

Appeals and exhaustion of the administrative route

The new resolution exhausts the administrative route. Against it an administrative litigation appeal may be filed within two months or, optionally, a reposición appeal within one month counted from the day after its publication in the Diario Oficial de Castilla‑La Mancha.

The routes and deadlines indicated apply to the new resolution that awards the post and not to the previous resolution that had declared the vacancy.

Legal basis invoked

The appeal that led to the annulment of the initial resolution was based specifically on article 21.1 of Decree 74/2002, relating to the procedure for filling posts. The Ministry considered it appropriate to revert the proceedings and review the previous decision to align it with the rules governing free designation.

Administrative implications and next steps

The Ministry ordered the reversion of the proceedings in order to issue a new decision in accordance with the law. As a result, the appointment of Susana Mora Murcia takes effect under the economic and administrative terms set out in the original call. Those who consider their legitimate interest affected by the resolution have the indicated remedies —reposicion in one month or administrative litigation in two months— from the date of official publication.

Public records and access to the resolution

The publication in the Diario Oficial de Castilla‑La Mancha on 14 October 2026 contains the resolution signed on 5 October. The resolution itself includes the detail of the appointment and the normative references used by the Ministry of Finance, Public Administrations and Digital Transformation of Castilla‑La Mancha to justify its decision.

"The Ministry upheld the appeal and ordered the proceedings to be reverted to the stage prior to the challenged resolution," states the text of the call and the administrative resolution.

The administrative process from the call in March to the publication in October records the formal steps: call by free designation, declaration of vacancy in July, reposición appeal on 6 August, upholding on 17 September and new effective appointment in the resolution of 5 October published on 14 October.

What interested parties should consider

Deadlines to challenge the resolution begin to run from the publication in the Diario Oficial de Castilla‑La Mancha on 14 October 2026. The duration and economic effects of the appointment are set by the call resolution of July and by the appointment resolution of 5 October 2026.

Identification of the post by code 11302 facilitates administrative reference in submissions and appeals addressed to the Ministry.
