The decision emphasizes the inviolability of the chief prosecutor and puts a cross on judicial independence.
This is what he said in the show "More from the day" on BNT lawyer Emil Georgiev from the "Justice for everyone" initiative.
Thus, those who elect the Attorney General are guaranteed immunity. These are the real winners from today's pronouncement, everyone else loses, added Georgiev.
This decision puts an end to the false myth that this type of constitutional changes mean judicial reform, said constitutional law professor Borislav Tsekov.
This type of separation of two independent bodies of the Supreme Judicial Council, this withdrawal of powers, in the case of the Prosecutor General, contradicts the current Constitution. These constitutional changes were never aimed at real judicial reform, but aimed at personnel changes in the system, Prof. Tsekov pointed out.
The Constitutional Court defended the supremacy of the Constitution. In order to make constitutional changes, the necessary legal tools must be in place. These constitutional changes were doomed, commented the professor of constitutional law.
According to lawyer Emil Georgiev, things are not clear-cut, and there are quite positive assessments of the constitutional changes by lawyers, as well as by the European Commission.
According to Prof. Tsekov, today's decision of the Constitutional Court puts an end to the judicial reform.
The situation in the judiciary is intolerable and it will not become more tolerable with today's decision. This decision does not put an end to judicial reform, the fight continues, lawyer Georgiev assured.
