The Central Election Commission is currently facing a serious test. On the one hand, because she has to solve cases that happen to her for the first time. On the other hand - because it has to prove that it is an independent body. Regarding the case with the DPS, the professor of constitutional law Assoc. Nataliya Kiselova said in the program “The Live Day” on Nova News.
„The purpose with which political parties are created is to participate in elections. It is not logical to ask for a party to be removed from participation. In my opinion, the CEC will wait for the verification of the validity of the signatures. Perhaps some of them will match those who were denied. Then a decision will be made“.
„The CEC is a body that must implement the law. The Electoral Code has described quite a few phases of the process in relatively detail. The problem is that the dispute in DPS is not legal. Is it between the two co-presidents, or someone else who breaks the surface between two wings”, added the associate professor.
According to Prof. Kiselova, if one of the two parties had backed down, the CEC would have registered both coalitions. “We would have forgotten about these dramas by now. But since they refused both, people around Dogan say they want to participate independently, she added.
According to the professor of constitutional law, after the outcome of the BSP case, there will be a change in the form in which they appear in the upcoming elections. “Atanas Zafirov, registered in the Sofia City Court, will implement the decision of their National Council”, she pointed out.
Assoc. Kiselova explained that today Zafirov withdrew the requested documents because they were for independent participation in elections.
„The High Judicial Council has the right to resume the procedure for the election of the chief prosecutor. It is also the body that will make the proposal for appointment to the head of state. It can be expected that after the Prosecutor's College unanimously proposes to the SJC, they will open the procedure, the associate professor specified.
