Cum a ajuns pensia specială a magistraților 25.400 lei, cât 9 pensii medii? Sau cât 25 pensii de invaliditate • Newsweek România

The special pension for magistrates in Romania has significantly increased over the past decade, reaching an average of 25,400 lei. This amount is primarily funded by the state, with only a quarter coming from contributions. The average pension for magistrates is now nine times higher than the average pension for the general population, and it is equivalent to 25 disability pensions. The rise in these pensions has been notable, with the average special pension growing from 9,221 lei in 2016 to 25,682 lei in 2023. The introduction of special pensions dates back to 1997, initiated by Valeriu Stoica, and was later reinstated for parliamentarians by Victor Ponta.
