I. At its meeting of 11 March 2025, within the framework of the a priori constitutional review, the Constitutional Court unanimously upheld the objection of unconstitutionality filed by the Advocate of the People and found that the Law supplementing Law No 223/2015 on State military pensions was unconstitutional, as a whole.
In essence, the Court held that the regulation of two systems aimed at balancing military pensions, which imply different legal regimes, depending on the date of entry into force of the impugned law, violated the provisions of Article 16 (1) of the Constitution.

The decision is final and generally binding.
