Four new judges, reform oriented, managed to enter the Superior Council of Magistracy, which create perspectives of reform within the justice system, Romania libera reads on Tuesday. However, old prosecutors conserved their power.

The newspaper reads that the four judges are Adrian Toni Neacsu, Alexandru Serban, Horatiu Dumbrava and Cristi Danilet. The Superior Council of Magistracy was often criticized for the support given to magistrates suspected of corruption and for nepotism.

However, the new members, even though they are reform oriented, still do not have a majority in the council. There would be some chances to overthrow this if the Senate would invalidate the two old members who won a new mandated, Barbulescu and Lupascu, on grounds that the law interdicts two consecutive mandates.

The decisions of the council have a strategic role in reforming the justice system in Romania. There are 19 members - nine are judges, 5 are prosecutors and 2 come from the civil society and are chosen by the Senate and the last three are by default members - the President of the Higher Court, Romania's general prosecutor and Justice minister.

According to the Prime Minister, the President had a very important role in negotiating with the IMF, Gandul reads on Tuesday. In an interview for a public radio broadcast, PM Boc said that the President had a clear contribution in sustaining investments for 2011.
