The Constitutional Court has decided to admit a complaint filed by the High Court of Cassation and Justice, declaring the law to reform special pensions of magistrates unconstitutional.
The court's decision was made with a simple majority of five to four. Although the official motivation has not been published, sources state that the rejection was based on formal defects, including the lack of a mandatory opinion from the Superior Council of Magistracy.
The law that aimed to repair a system imbalance was invalidated for a bureaucratic error, not for the substance of the reform.
Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan had assumed responsibility in Parliament for the legislative project, despite it not having the required opinion.
Summary: Court blocks reform of magistrates' pensions due to formal defects.
