Lia Savonea would be the first president of the ICCJ to have been actually and effectively worked in all the hierarchical levels of courts, from step to step and who has never been a prosecutor, says Judge Bogdan Mateescu, former head of the Supreme Council of Magistracy.

“Now, only as a judge, a citizen of my country and without hiring anyone else, I feel the need to write a few lines for those who still want to know the objective reality and because, apparently cyclical, under the umbrella of some slogans related to the rule of law, it seems that there are harmful attacks on this fundamental principle. That justice cannot interfere in the activity of the government, showing who to be prime minister, as he cannot say who can be president at a court or judge“, Wrote Bogdan Mateescu, Sunday evening, in a Facebook post.
Bogdan Mateescu refers to the reactions arising after the magistrate Lia Savonea from the Criminal Section of the High Court of Cassation and Justice (JCCJ) has registered in the race for the head of the institution.
“We see, however, from many who chew all day the right day of law, and even from an association of a few prosecutors (?!) All kinds of calls, petitions, invitations for you wonder what conflicts (they see and CCR as toxic, but, please …) so that a court is to be a judge. legislative ”says Bogdan Mateescu.
“The person is only the person, I think”
Former head of the Supreme Council of Magistracy explains and “how are things“In connection with the procedure.
“The early triggering of the procedure has at least two precedents, both justified. Mrs. Corbu, for example, was chosen twice, pactic, the same conditions. There were no petitions, conflicts, please. Because it was not a case.it. As long as there is no injury, a violation cannot be withheld. In other words, if exactly the same judges met the conditions of seniority and in May-June and in September, in front of one and the same CSM, there is obviously no problem of legality.
So exactly those who could register in the procedure in September, could be entered in June and in front of the same decision maker. The case closed, therefore, explained, extremely relevant, the president of the SCM. In reality, not the legality is targeted, because, as we have shown, there is no such problem. The person is only the person, I think ”, considers Mateescu.
“Lia Savonea has traveled all the professional grades and steps”
Regarding the “man” Lia Savonea, Judge Bogdan Mateescu added:
“Man is a career judge. Judge Lia Savonea has traveled all professional grades and stepsfrom the court to the ICCJ, execution functions, management positions, with legitimation by vote entrusted by judges in the SCM, the president of this forum. The peak, I think it would be the first president of the ICCJ to have been actually and actually worked in all the hierarchical levels of courts, from step to step and who has never been a prosecutor, for the last decades, I hope I do not think and do not believed.I know the lady judge in the Council, during the mandate, in deep disagreement on some issues but also in full agreement.
With defects and qualities, because no one is perfect, it is the best judicial system manager I have encountered and a very tenacious and assumed man in the things he believes.But beyond my opinion or others, the role of the decision -makers in the system is exclusively Judicial to decide whether or not she is suitable for high dignity, and not politicians, nor the so -called “opinion trainers” (read, please, the beginning of the book of Johnson, the intellectuals, in which they talk about themselves that they have the divine purpose of leading themselves, without any collection. chosen, without a characteristic substance).
Because only the members of the SCM, beyond the sympathies or the dislikes, therefore, have the same legitimacy entrusted by vote to decide according to the legal competences as does the President of Romania regarding his constitutional competences or the Parliament and so on? ”.
Mateescu ends the post saying that “It would be a lot of things to say/write, I stop here, not before pointing out that the attachment to the principles is full when the same rules are applied otherwise than we would agree and respect this.”:
“Otherwise – it’s just hypocrisy.”
