Romania's Government Holds On Amid Pension Reform Chaos

Romania's government managed to stay in power after a recent vote, but not everyone is happy. The vote was about a plan to change retirement rules for judges and prosecutors. The idea is to make them work longer and get less money when they retire. This is not the first time they've tried this. A court already said no to a similar plan a few months ago. The government wants these changes to meet some conditions set by the European Union. They need to fix their budget to get some money from the EU. But not everyone in the government agrees on how to do this. The biggest party in the government, the Social Democrats, wants more money for workers and a change in the environment ministry. They are not happy with how things are going and might leave the government.Judges and prosecutors are also upset. They say the system is not fair, and many people have been protesting. The court will decide soon if the new plan is okay. If they say no again, it could cause more problems for the government. The government has faced many votes like this before, mostly about taxes and spending. They have survived so far, but it's not easy. The government is also having trouble making a plan for next year's budget. They need to cut spending, but they can't agree on how. The Social Democrats want more money for workers and a change in the environment ministry. The prime minister might have to make some tough decisions to keep the government together.
