News Official statement In the courts
  • Romania's High Court of Cassation and Justice upheld the suspension of 11 government decisions, rejecting a government appeal.
  • These decisions were initially suspended by the Bucharest Court of Appeal following a request from the PSD party.
  • The High Court's final ruling means the acts remain suspended pending a resolution on their substance.

Romania's judicial system has once again asserted its authority, with the High Court of Cassation and Justice upholding the suspension of 11 government decisions. The court rejected an appeal lodged by the government, solidifying a previous ruling by the Bucharest Court of Appeal which had initially halted the acts at the request of the Social Democratic Party (PSD).

This definitive decision means the 11 government acts will remain suspended until the core legal disputes are settled. The High Court's ruling underscores the judicial branch's role in scrutinizing executive actions, particularly when challenged by political opposition.

Minister Raluca Turcan commented on the situation, remarking, "This is how red justice begins to look." Her statement suggests a critical view of the court's actions, potentially implying a politicized judiciary or a frustration with the legal process hindering government initiatives. The phrase "red justice" could allude to historical or political connotations within Romania.

This is how red justice begins to look.
