Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan will hold a press conference on Tuesday on the reform of special pensions, the press office at the Victoria Palace announced. In an interview with G4Media, the Prime Minister said that the law on magistrates' pensions is finalized, among its provisions is raising the retirement age for judges and magistrates to 65. "Raise the retirement age to the standard age of 65, increase the length of time after which you can retire and clarify the provision related to the amount of the pension so that it follows a European model, both in terms of the amount of the pension, but also in terms of how it is related to", said Ilie Bolojan. He said that these amendments will be applied in the future, ‘in order to be able to be standing on its constitutional footing’. ‘Today, unfortunately, the justice system has an unclear mechanism which generated thousands of processes with decisions which cost the Romanian state billions of euro and which should be modified, so that the system should be clear, a predictable system which should not affect the incomes in this area, but which should not allow such processes and a general lack of clarity. So, the quality of the legal documents which regulate these areas must be improved’ Ilie Bolojan said. Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said in an interview with G4Media that this fall "we should come up" with a legislative package to reform special pensions, including military pensions in the fall. He said the reform of magistrates' pensions would be passed earlier in August. "The reform of special pensions, those on magistrates should be part of this package which should be adopted during August. This is also a time pressure because of the conditionality of a milestone (in the PNRR - ed.) and we have to recover several hundreds of millions of euros that are blocked, because we have not closed this conditionality.
