The justice laws are “an important test of the extent to which the legitimate
interests of judicial and other stakeholders are given an opportunity to be

Brussels asked the parliament to put the changes up for debate and “build a
broad consensus on the way forward.” MPs from the ruling coalition — the

magistrates was legal, national media reported. The court is due to rule on
January 30 if changes to the legal status of magistrates and the organization
of the Superior Magistrates Council are also in line with the constitution.
