CCR debates on September 24 the notification to the High Court regarding the amendment of judges' pensions

The Constitutional Court of Romania will analyze on September 24 the referral from the High Court of Cassation and Justice regarding the law by which the Government assumed responsibility for amending the service pensions of magistrates. The HCCJ invokes the violation of the rule of law principle, the independence of justice, and legal security, while the project provides for capping the pension at 70% of the last net salary and gradually increasing the retirement age to 65 years, during which magistrates have suspended their activity in protest.
