" I hope that this candidacy and election will not be as predictable as Ivan Geshev's. Sarafov's model already resembles that of his predecessor“, judge Atanaska Disheva said on bTV on the occasion of the sole nomination for chief prosecutor.
She is a member of the judicial collegium of the SJC.
„The personnel composition of the SJC is the same as under Geshev, there are cosmetic changes, it has decreased by five people.
A year ago, Sarafov announced to bTV that he would not be the nominee for chief prosecutor.
„It looks like what we've already seen, been involved in. One person to turn 180°. Certainly, in one of the statements or in one of the hypotheses, he is not sincere, and I don't know which one - whether the one when he said “I will not run under any circumstances, I will not participate in the procedure” or the consent to participate“, she said.
Only three people have nominated Sarafov for chief prosecutor, which does not change the essence of things, added Disheva.
„These are the same people in the prosecutor's collegium who, in a very short period of time, changed their attitude towards Ivan Geshev, and from being the best chief prosecutor in their statements, he turned into a person who cannot continued to act as the number one accuser“, she explained.
October 24 is the deadline for nominees to present a concept, and the SJC has until November 19 to publish them.
By November 26, two of the commissions of the Prosecutor's College should accept reports on the professional and moral qualities of the candidates, to be discussed at a meeting of the college a day later.
Voting should be on January 16.
