Ultima lovitură | Guvernul Bolojan demis schimbă regulile pentru desemnarea judecătorului României la CJUE. Probleme de transparență și limite constituționale

On August 27, 2026, the Romanian government approved a new procedure for selecting the national candidate for the CJEU judge position. This change is significant as the current judge's term ends on October 6, 2027, and the new appointment will last six years. The final selection will be made by EU member states after a thorough evaluation. However, the decision has raised public concerns due to a lack of transparency and justification for the new rules, which differ from previous selection processes. The Ministry of Justice admitted that the new methodology only partially aligns with past procedures. Additionally, the government, being a caretaker cabinet, may have overstepped its constitutional authority by implementing new policies without public debate, raising questions about the legitimacy of the selection process.
