Romania’s Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) issued a negative opinion on the new bill regarding magistrates’ pensions. The move is only the latest development concerning a heated issue that led to tensions between the executive and the judiciary branch.
CSM’s opinion is consultative, and the government led by Ilie Bolojan can still take responsibility for the legislative proposal that cuts the pensions of magistrates by 30%. The same proposal increases retirement age from 48-50 to the standard 65.
