Curtea Supremă decide joi dacă Guvernul trebuie să plătească magistraților salarii restante de 5 mld. lei • Newsweek România

The High Court claims that unpaid debts affect judges' property rights and accuses the government of undermining judicial legitimacy. The government seeks constitutional clarification on budget allocations and has requested the suspension of the process until a decision from the European Court of Justice. Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan argues that the court has overstepped its authority by interfering in budgetary matters, which he believes are exclusive to the executive and legislative branches. The budget proposal includes significant funds for the High Court to cover salary arrears resulting from retroactive increases, but the government has postponed some payments to redirect funds to social aid.
