Cristian Tudor Popescu accuses the Government of maintaining a 'dictatorship' in the judiciary, challenging the proposed reforms for magistrates' pensions.

Journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu has reacted vehemently on social networks to the government's intentions to reform magistrates' pensions, describing the justice system as a 'can of dictatorship' that perpetuates privileges. He argues that the current magistrates are descendants of the communist nomenklatura and that the independence of the judiciary is an illusion. CTP criticizes the special pensions as political rewards and warns that the changes announced by the government, such as the capping of pensions, will generate discontent and protests among magistrates.
