Journalist Liviu Avram discussed the greed of magistrates and the long-standing salary disputes between the government and the judiciary. He traced the issue back to 2006 when prosecutors received bonuses, prompting judges to demand similar increases. Avram highlighted that nearly all Romanian magistrates have filed for salary raises, leading to a total claim exceeding 5 billion lei. He noted a recent CEDO ruling indicating potential conflicts of interest among judges who decide on salary increases. Avram argued that political courage is needed to address these issues, especially since many rulings may violate constitutional decisions. PNL President Ilie Bolojan supported the government's stance, suggesting the CEDO decision provides a basis for resolving the salary disputes without disrupting the budget.
