A judge sanctioned for imprisoning former minister Daniel Chițoiu has resigned, asserting that he "understood the message, do not touch politicians." This resignation intensifies the controversy surrounding judicial independence and the treatment of political figures in the justice system. The Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) had sanctioned judges involved in the case against former minister Chițoiu, who was jailed after a fatal car accident.
In other domestic news, Romania has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest tree planting event, with over 2,500 volunteers participating. The heaviest-ever found Dacian gold bracelet has been successfully repatriated after being located in the Czech Republic. The Competition Council has also launched a new investigation into banks regarding credit risk assessment.
Politically, Prime Minister Luca Niculescu responded evasively when questioned about guaranteeing no tax increases in 2027, and former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan provided insights into the breakdown of relations between the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Social Democratic Party (PSD). Separately, a former aide to Alina Bica is suing the Romanian state for 2.3 million lei in damages.
