Judecătorii din Republica Moldova vor protesta față de noua lege a salarizării și amenință cu sistarea activității

Judges in Moldova plan to protest against a new salary law, threatening to halt court activities. They are dissatisfied with the proposed salary structure and demand revisions. Protests will start on October 12, with judges wearing white armbands and suspending court operations for two hours, except for urgent cases. The Superior Council of Magistracy has previously requested changes to the salary project, advocating for higher starting salaries and additional benefits. The proposed law increases judges' salary classes but lowers the salary coefficient, leading to minimal pay increases. Judges argue that the new formula undermines their responsibilities and could worsen the shortage of qualified personnel. They demand resolution of salary issues within a week, or they will call for an extraordinary general assembly of judges.
