The Independent Trade Union Center and Civil Servants (CSIF) has called this Saturday, December 14, a mobilization before the General Directorate of muface from Madrid at 12:30 p.m. to defend the maintenance of the health model of administrative mutualism due to the lack of agreement between the Government and insurers to renew the validity of the current Muface concert.
The concentration, supported by the police union Jupol and the Civil Guard association Jucil, is part of the calendar of mobilizations in defense of administrative mutualism, which began on November 11 with a demonstration in Madrid in front of the Ministry of Finance and the subdelegations of the Government of all Spain to also demand that the Government unblock collective bargaining to improve the working conditions of all public employees.
From CSIF they have indicated that the mobilization, in which they will participate mutualists from all parts of Spainwill be carried out with the objective of asking the Government to put out a tender that is “sufficiently attractive” to ensure the continuity of the system.
Likewise, the union has assured that the protests will continue in the event that the Government continues without reacting and without guarantee the continuity of the Muface model “with quality healthcare.”
“The Minister of Public Service still not responding to our request for an urgent meeting to explain, Therefore, CSIF will increase pressure on the Government until it reacts with the call for partial and total strikes in the Administration,” CSIF has denounced.

Csif takes complaints to Brussels
The public workers union has brought to Brussels the “hundreds” of complaints they have received in recent weeks On the part of the mutualists, they denounce that the clinics are canceling, delaying and suspending medical appointments and surgical interventions due to the uncertainty about the health agreement.
These complaints were reported by the union to the Ombudsman last Monday and registered in the Congress of Deputies with the objective that parliamentary groups propose initiatives in defense of the health care received by the 1.5 million Muface mutual members.
With the presentation of these complaints in Brussels, the union seeks to both the European Parliament and the Commission know about the situation in which the public workers and their families assisted by Muface find themselves so that “it can take the actions it deems necessary.”
Adeslas, Asisa and DKV
The three insurers that now pay attention to Muface (Adeslas, Asisa and DKV) did not present themselves to the new tender for the years 2025 and 2026 called by the management of Muface because the Government proposed an increase in premiums of 17.12%below the request of the insurers, which was around 40%.
When staying the tender is voidthe Government opened a period of ten business days, from November 21 to December 4, for insurers to notify Muface at what price they would provide the health service, specifying the fixed premiums that would have to be paid for each group of age for each year of the concert (2025, 2026 and 2027).
The first tender for the concert covered the period 2025-2026, but the preliminary consultation establishes a period of validity estimate of the new three-year concert, from 2025 to 2027.
After the consultation period ends, muface has compiled the responses presented in a final report in which it indicates that the insurers DKV and Asisa have not provided Muface with “evidence of costs” on the total premium that they have suggested to the mutual insurance company for the new healthcare agreement, while Adeslas has not participated in said preliminary consultation.
With the information collected in this consultation, and with this report, the Government plans to launch a new tender for the concert of private healthcare of the officials of muface before the end of the year, as indicated by the Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Service, Óscar López.
