Înalta Curte: Guvernul va trebui să achite salariile restante ale magistraților, pe care și le-au majorat singuri

The High Court of Cassation and Justice upheld a decision requiring the Romanian government to pay outstanding salaries to judges, totaling approximately 1 billion euros. This ruling confirms the government's failure to allocate necessary funds for legally mandated payments. The court's decision follows a lawsuit initiated by the High Court itself against the government for unpaid salary increases that judges had awarded themselves through definitive rulings. The government must comply within ten days, or face daily penalties and fines for delays.
