flag Romania pushes pension reform for judges to unlock EU funds, facing legal and political challenges.

flag Romania is relaunching judicial pension reform to meet EU recovery fund conditions, aiming to raise the retirement age to 65, extend required service to 35 years, and cap pensions at 70% of final salary. flag The government seeks fast-track approval amid legal and political hurdles, including a negative opinion from the Superior Council of Magistrates and a prior Constitutional Court rejection over procedural flaws. flag The reform, critical for unlocking EU funds and stabilizing a fragile coalition, applies to judges, prosecutors, and legal staff, with a 15-year transition period. flag Failure could trigger a censure motion and collapse the government.
