Iulia Motoc, judge at the International Criminal Court and former judge at the European Court of Human Rights, stated that political speech is fundamental for a democratic society and may include terms that can offend. She emphasized that protection is maximal for speeches addressing public interest issues, but does not apply in cases of incitement to hatred or discrimination. Her statements come in the context of a criminal complaint filed by the Superior Council of Magistracy against Deputy Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu, who commented on judges' pensions, suggesting that they are privileges that affect the public budget. Gheorghiu stated that the money for service pensions is taken from other areas, such as education and health, and highlighted the need for an open discussion about these privileges. Motoc reminded that, although political speech must be protected, it cannot exceed the acceptable limits of democratic debate.
