The Constitutional Court will rule tomorrow on whether the latest amendments to the Constitution (the sixth amendments in a row) contradict the basic law.
This is clear from a message on the court's website.
There are two requests - from President Rumen Radev, who is attacking the amendments, without the changes related to the judiciary, and from deputies from the 49th National Assembly, who want the cancellation of the entire constitutional reform.
An institution's website says that:
"The Constitutional Court will hold a session on July 26 (Friday) at 10:00 a.m. with the following agenda:
