There is some good news in the decision of the Constitutional Court regarding judicial reform – it is very precise, the CS with surgical precision removed texts that are not good and left others. This was stated in the show “The Staircase“ on Darik radio the former deputy from GERB and lawyer Radomir Cholakov.
He emphasized that there will be a judicial reform and this was also the wish of the GERB party.
„The Constitutional Court said “not like that”, “this is not the way”, he added.
Regarding the convening of the Grand National Assembly, Cholakov sounded the alarm:
„The Grand National Assembly is the nuclear option in Bulgarian law and politics. This is the atomic bomb that we know exists but is never used. I most strongly warn everyone not to use the word “great national assembly”, because it will contain the same parties, multiplied by two. The same political situation without a mandate, and I cannot and do not want to imagine what deals and compromises can be made in a great national assembly. God save Bulgaria, I tell you.“
The issue does not come down to removing the chief prosecutor, Cholakov said in a comment on the decision of the Supreme Court.
According to him, there are more important problems, the solution of which should really reform the judicial system, so that it is directly felt by society.
„Decisions in the CC are made with 7 votes. Judge Atanasova acted on principle, her line is consistent. Is it reprehensible that she supported the amendments? So she is one of “ours“, she supported them. PP-DB knew that she would support the amendments to the Constitution.“
It is not possible, for example, for the prosecutor's office to write an indictment for a year and a half for an accident, like the one in which the journalist Milen Tsvetkov died, something that happened in front of all of us, said the lawyer who was the chairman of the commission on constitutional issues in the previous parliament that passed the sixth amendment to the Basic Law.
