Three CCR judges ask for retirement bonuses of 180,000 lei, ignoring austerity and Romanians' grievances.

George Simion, the leader of AUR, criticizes the intention of CCR judges to get substantial retirement bonuses in the context of economic austerity. He accuses the CCR of abuses and of being an appendage of the political system, noting that these sums do not reflect professionalism but obedience to political power. While Romanians are facing financial difficulties, judges are taking advantage of a legislative vacuum to secure considerable financial benefits.
