The Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled on May 5 that the Romanian government and the Ministry of Finance must secure the funds needed to pay outstanding salary rights owed to judges and other eligible professional categories in 2026, after admitting a request filed by the High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ), News.ro reported.
The decision targets budget reallocations adopted earlier this year, when the ruling coalition diverted RON 770 million (EUR 150 million) from the ICCJ’s budget to finance social protection measures backed by the Social Democratic Party (PSD). The move directly affected the High Court’s ability to pay salary entitlements previously granted through final court decisions.
