32. In a document of the same date, the general coordinator of the Technical Supply and General Services Unit, who was in charge of making the selection in the competitive hiring process to permanently fill position 010179,22 addressed a letter to the general coordinator of the Human Resources Technical Unit, forwarding official letter 044-2003 sent by the head of maintenance. In that letter, he stated the following: Attached hereto, I am sending you letter 044-2003 from Mr. German Mora Salazar, in charge of the maintenance and custodial section, regarding the future employment of Luis Fernando Díaz Guevara as a civil servant through his eventual appointment to a miscellaneous position. As can be inferred from the official letter, in view of the functions he performs and the opportunities he has been given in his position, the behavior of Mr. Luis Fernando has had a negative impact on his future employment, and his attitudes may even affect his personal safety in view of the type of functions that would be performed. It is therefore suggested that his selection be reconsidered.23 33. In a document dated June 12, 2003, Senior Officer and Administrative and Financial Director of the Ministry of Finance informed Mr. Guevara that he was not selected in the competitive hiring process to permanently fill position 010179, therefore his appointment as interim official in the position of Miscellaneous Worker 1 would end on June 16, 2003. It stated the following: […] according to article 121 of the Autonomous Regulations of this Ministry [which] states: in the case of interim officials, their service relationship concludes: (b) when a candidate is chosen from the list (a) to permanently fill a position. On behalf of this Institution, we thank you for the interest and effectiveness you have shown in performing the duties assigned during your employment relationship; and we reiterate our desire to collaborate with you in any process related to the administrative function of the Institution […].24 B. Appeal for reversal 34. On June 18, 2003, Mr. Guevara filed an “appeal for reversal with subsidy appeal and absolute nullity” against the decision to remove him from the position.25 On July 9, 2003, the Senior Officer and General Administrative and Financial Director of the Ministry of Finance stated that all the procedures established by the legal system for cases like that of Mr. Guevara had been followed and declared the appeal inadmissible.26 In this regard, he concluded as follows: Reviewing the personnel file of Mr. Guevara Díaz, it was determined that there is no report on what you described as “presumed inappropriate labor conduct.” Cf.
