The fact that we have a Constitutional Court institution has nothing to do with a court, it is a political body, which is practically the second level of Bulgarian parliamentarism, and in the reasons for this decision there is a mixture of legal and purely political reasons.
This was announced by the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Atanas Atanasov from "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" in front of journalists in the parliament.
Earlier today, the Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional and invalid part of the changes to the Constitution voted by the National Assembly at the end of last year, according to a decision published on the institution's website.
The bad thing is that this decision takes us back to 1990, commented Atanas Atanasov. “I can't believe that Filchev is back in the game again,”, he also said.
According to Atanasov, we continue to have a Stalinist prosecutor's office based on model and action, and not a body that monitors legality.
They blocked the judicial reform, and the Bulgarian society is not satisfied with the administration of justice, he also commented in connection with the decision of the Constitutional Court. Before the decision of the Supreme Court came out, there was a ruling at the European level, this is extremely important. The EC supported these changes in the Constitution and quite solidly, our CC took us back, Atanasov added.
