A member of Romania’s Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM), Claudiu Sandu, has publicly disputed a recent report issued by the Council’s judges’ section. The CSM report alleges a campaign to discredit the judiciary and identifies individuals – including politicians, NGOs, and journalists – as being responsible. Sandu claims the report contains false information, specifically challenging the assertion that 3,580 judges support the CSM’s actions. He states that conversations with fellow magistrates and general assemblies indicate a lack of widespread support for the report’s claims. This internal conflict raises questions about the transparency and accuracy of the CSM’s statements and its handling of perceived attacks on the justice system. The dispute highlights growing tensions within the Romanian judiciary regarding its public image and external pressures.
