What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The European Court of Human Rights issued a ruling concerning the payment of outstanding salary entitlements to magistrates in Romania. Ilie Bolojan stated that this ruling places a burden on Romanians and provides the Government with a decisive argument to settle the matter. He also noted that the ECHR ruling raises questions about some previous Romanian rulings due to suspicions of conflicts of interest among the judges who issued them.

Bolojan argued that forcing the state to immediately pay huge sums, amounting to billions of lei, is immoral given the country's difficult economic situation and the impact on the budget and other obligations to citizens. He suggested the situation resembles a form of budgetary aristocracy.
