The president of UDMR, Kelemen Hunor, supports a referendum to check public opinion regarding a uniform retirement age, including for judges.

Kelemen Hunor, the president of UDMR, discussed the importance of organizing a referendum on the retirement age, arguing that it would demonstrate that Romanians do not want judges to benefit from special privileges. He believes that such a plebiscite could influence the decisions of the Constitutional Court, which recently rejected a law regarding pensions. Hunor proposes that the Government should resume the procedure by assuming responsibility, considering that the CSM's opinion was a "procedural trick" that hindered the advancement of the law.

He emphasizes that a referendum would clarify the position of citizens and could contribute to restoring trust in justice, which is currently very low. Hunor states that it is essential for all citizens, including judges, to be treated equally regarding the retirement age. He also acknowledges that there are professions with special regimes, but suggests that legal solutions can be found to address these exceptions. In conclusion, Hunor believes that a referendum could help regain public trust in justice and in state institutions.
