CSM denounces a climate of hostility against magistrates, generated by political actions and media campaigns, in the context of the modification of special pensions.

The Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) reacted vehemently to political attacks and media campaigns that discredit the judicial system, accusing a hostile attitude towards magistrates. CSM emphasizes that these actions affect the independence of justice, which is essential for a fair trial. The reaction comes in the context of the postponement of the Constitutional Court's decision on a project to amend the special pensions of magistrates, which has generated protests among them. The project provides for an increase in the retirement age and limits the pension to 70% of the last net salary, provoking severe criticism from the judicial system.
