From February 2026, internal reporters and their family members will benefit from 21 legal guarantees, from job retention to identity protection and safe transfer...
A new law that will enter into force in February 2026 guarantees full protection to whistleblowers in the public administration and the private sector. The legal framework provides for 21 protective measures, including the prohibition of dismissal, demotion, psychological pressure, damage to reputation and professional exclusion. The protection also extends to whistleblowers' family members and colleagues, while the state offers free legal aid, compensation for damage and the possibility of transfer to another job, institutionalizing whistleblowing as a legally protected mechanism.
Starting in February 2026, volunteer spies within the public administration and in private companies, called "whistleblowers", as well as their family members, will have state protection for jobs and other social rights.
In exchange for voluntary espionage, whistleblowers will have guaranteed protection from the state, even in cases where they are anonymous and exposed by those who receive the information.
To ensure that whistleblowers are not subject to consequences in their workplaces and are not denied other rights by institutional leaders or business owners, a law has been passed that offers them state protection and prohibits retaliation against them and their families.
According to the law, the list of persons related to whistleblowers includes the spouse, cohabitant, relatives, as well as colleagues and family members who work for the same employer or who exercise whistleblower activity for the same public interest.
Here are 21 guarantees for spies in the administration, state services and businesses
1. Protection from all forms of retaliation.
2. Protection of identity and maintenance of confidentiality during the reporting process, including cases of anonymous reporting.
3. Maintaining the confidentiality of the source of information sent by the whistleblower.
4. Free legal aid from the state for the whistleblower, in cases of retaliatory actions.
5. Compensation for damage caused as a result of retaliatory actions.
6. Prohibition of suspension and dismissal from work due to reporting.
7. Prohibition of demotion, forced transfer and change of working hours.
8. Prohibition of salary reduction and financial rewards.
9. Prohibition of removal of professional status and privileges related to the workplace.
10. Prohibition of obstacles to promotion.
11. Prohibition of exclusion from training programs.
12. Prohibition of negative evaluation in the employment relationship.
13. Prohibition of intimidation, harassment, psychological pressure or exclusion from the work environment.
14. Prohibition of discrimination and unfair treatment at work.
15. Prohibition of non-renewal of the contract from temporary to permanent, when the whistleblower meets the professional and legal criteria.
16. Prohibition of termination of temporary employment contract.
17. Prevention of reputational damage, including on social networks, and loss of financial income.
18. Prohibition of including whistleblowers in "blacklists" that prevent future employment.
19. Prohibition of revocation of license or permit for the exercise of private activity.
20. Prohibition of unjustified referral for psychiatric or medical examination.
21. Every whistleblower employed in the administration, public services or private businesses, upon his/her request, has the right to be transferred to another job and is guaranteed the continuation of his/her whistleblowing activity./ Pamphlet
