Romania’s National Network of the General Assemblies of Judges (RNAG) recently decided, after centralizing information from 14 courts of appeals countrywide, that ten of them would continue protests, while the Military Court of Appeals, the Craiova Court of Appeals and the Constanta courthouse decided to suspend protests.

The Craiova Court of Appeals decided to suspend protests, „although it noticed that ” the magistrates’ demands have not been met,” RNAG said in a press release on September 19.

Of the 36 centralized courthouses, the Constanta courthouse decided to suspend protests.

According to RNAG, all 97 courthouses decided to continue protests and halt activities and „at least 60 courthouses” urged the resignation of Justice Minister Catalin Predoiu.

Romanian magistrates are displeased with the salary grid, the under-financing of the legal system and demand that the justice sector receive 1% of the GDP.
