The Plenum of the Supreme Judicial Council must decide whether to submit a request to the National Assembly for an authentic interpretation of the texts of the Judicial System Act, related to the so-called "big three" in the judicial system - the acting prosecutor general and the presidents of the supreme courts. The meeting of the higher magistrates was convened by the Minister of Justice Georgi Georgiev.
This was summarized by BNT.

According to the prosecutorial college, the controversial text of the law is inapplicable to the acting prosecutor general Borislav Sarafov, because he was elected before its entry into force. The Judicial College decided that the text applies to the president of the Supreme Administrative Court, who was also acting after the end of his term. The magistrates elected Marinika Cherneva to the temporary position earlier this week. According to Justice Minister Georgi Georgiev, the two chambers should make a joint decision on the case.
