Guvernul pierde definitiv procesul cu ÎCCJ: 5 miliarde de lei pentru magistrați. Peste 400.000 de bugetari s-au judecat cu statul

The Romanian government is mandated to pay outstanding salary rights to magistrates after a definitive ruling by the High Court. This decision, which could cost the state around 5 billion lei, follows the rejection of the government's appeal against a previous ruling. The court emphasized that the government failed to allocate necessary funds despite being aware of the obligations. If the government does not comply within ten days, it faces daily penalties. The situation reflects broader issues within public sector salary disputes, with over 400,000 public employees having taken legal action for unpaid wages. The High Court clarified that magistrates' salary rights stem from the law, not judicial decisions.
