Cristian Tudor Popescu denounces the idea of a referendum proposed by Nicușor Dan for the evaluation of the CSM, considering it unconstitutional and confusing.

Nicușor Dan suggested a referendum for judges to evaluate the activity of the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM), a proposal harshly criticized by journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu. He believes that the initiative exceeds the constitutional powers of the president and reflects incoherence in addressing issues in justice. Popescu emphasizes that Nicușor Dan did not show real interest in justice before the Recorder documentary and that now his actions seem more aimed at improving his public image rather than providing solutions. The criticism also targets the lack of a legal basis for the referendum, stating that establishing guilt in justice is not done by vote. Additionally, Popescu warns that Nicușor's statements affect Romania's image internationally and have generated discussions about a possible suspension of him. In the end, he suggests that the CSM could move from a defensive to an offensive stance, notifying the Constitutional Court to contest the president's proposal.
