CSM, chemat în instanță de un fost ministru al Justiției. „M-a sancționat fără judecată pentru exercitarea unor drepturi fundamentale”

Former Justice Minister Ana Birchall is suing the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) after being placed on a "blacklist" for allegedly undermining the judiciary. She claims this decision violates her rights to free expression and protest, damaging her reputation. Birchall's initial complaint to CSM was rejected, prompting her to seek judicial review. The CSM's blacklist includes various politicians and journalists accused of discrediting the justice system. The council asserts that the decision was supported by a significant majority of judges, citing ongoing attacks on judicial independence by political entities. Birchall argues that her criticisms of judicial appointments and calls for reform were unjustly penalized, highlighting a concerning institutional overreach.
