Prof. Plamen Kirov: Deputies are to blame for Sarafov and the Supreme Judicial Council. Everyone who receives a salary in the judicial system is legitimate  - 1

Borislav Sarafov is a legitimate Prosecutor General. The reason is that the deputies in the National Assembly do not want to elect a parliamentary quota in the Supreme Judicial Council in order to replace the Prosecutor General. This was stated by former constitutional judge Prof. Plamen Kirov in the program “Face to Face“ on BTV.

This law, which limits the mandate of the Prosecutor General to six months, was clumsily made. It was written on the knee and here are the consequences, he emphasized.

Prof. Kirov asked whether the Supreme Judicial Council and the Inspectorate, whose mandate has expired, are legitimate? Let the case be considered by the prosecutorial college and if they want to replace Sarafov, he urged. The president also has the authority to request the replacement of the Prosecutor General, the former constitutional judge said.

He commented that distrust in the judicial system is a huge problem for society. “There is an inscription in the courthouse: “Justice is the foundation of the state“. If there is no justice – there is no state“, Plamen Kirov said.

He called on us not to look at the “Sarafov“ case, let's look at the general situation, he called.

In his words, when you have irresponsible people - this is the result, referring to the actions of the people's representatives. Regarding the remark that they do not have a majority of 161 votes, Prof. Kirov stated: "They even tried".

In connection with the scandalous cases that became known in our judicial system, Prof. Kirov stated: "This is disgusting. This means that the Bulgarian survives despite his country".
