During press statements held in Cotroceni, Nicușor Dan announced that he will create a referendum dedicated to magistrates, in which they will have to answer the question: “Does the Superior Council of Magistracy act in the public interest or does it act in the interest of a group within the judicial system?”.
“And, in view of this situation, which I consider to be serious, I will initiate in January, immediately after the holidays, a referendum within the Corps of Magistrates with a single question: “Does the Superior Council of Magistrates act in the public interest or does it act in the interest of a group within the judicial system?”
And, if the magistrates, as a whole, will say that yes, the Superior Council of Magistracy is acting in the public interest, we will continue the legislative discussions and everything I said earlier”, the president conveyed.
Sorin Ioniță called this referendum an idea “catastrophic”.
“Does anyone think the result would be anything other than 90% pro-CSM? Because he defended their wages and pensions. What employees dismantle a union so effectively? Dwe wouldn't get there anyway, the idea falls to the CCR, that's in case someone manages to find a law that could be done”, the public policy expert commented on Facebook.
