The ENCJ Executive Board issued a statement addressing the current challenges facing by the judiciary in Romania. The statement identifies three primary concerns: hostile media coverage, lack of meaningful consultation, and instability of magistrates’ status.

The ENCJ calls on the Romanian government and media outlets to end unfounded attacks on the judiciary, stop spreading misinformation about individual judges, and instead support the judiciary. 

The ENCJ also calls Romanian government to carry out proper consultation with the Superior Council of Magistracy on all aspects of the proposed legislative amendments, carefully considering the opinion of the judiciary.
