Sources: Magistrates have requested pensions of 65% of gross. This means 97%-98% of the last net income.

Following a meeting of approximately three hours at the Cotroceni Palace, magistrates and coalition leaders did not reach a consensus regarding the reform of special pensions. The magistrates contest the 70% of the last net salary proposed by the coalition, arguing that it would be the lowest in Europe. Instead, they request that the pension be calculated at 65% of the last gross salary.

"As far as I understand, the magistrates requested that their pension be 65% of the gross income. This means that, according to certain calculations, it would be 97%-98% of the last net income, which we consider to be unfair. We believe that the pension should be somewhere around 70%-75% of the net income," stated the leader of the UDMR deputies, Csoma Botond, at RFI.
