Reform of magistrates' pensions blocked by the Constitutional Court

Reform of Magistrates' Pensions Blocked

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.
