It says: Is anyone more than 15 years in public service, and employs over 40 years old, it can not be properly terminated.
Since 1 January 2005 met the art historian these conditions. He has over 15 years in public service, to significantly older became the 40th The denunciation was an ordinary, not summarily. Said from his perspective: The dismissal is not lawful. He wanted money: until retirement around one million euros.
