In Bulgaria we have not even grown up for mafia, because there are rules, we have a gang. If the boy's gang is going to rule, we better not have a government. The sovereign cannot end up with 12% in the elections. Who are you, Mr. Peevski, and you are the state.
This is what lawyer Velislav Velichkov from "Justice for Everyone" said. in an interview with BNR.
At 18:00 tonight from "Justice for everyone" organized a protest under the heading "Who regrouped the chief prosecutors"-2.
In the show "Something more" Velichkov expressed his dissatisfaction, pointed out the arguments for this and explained what the solution was to unblock the crisis and move in the right direction.
"Tonight we will announce our demands at the protest and we will appeal to all parliamentary groups that after the election of the Speaker of the National Assembly, without the DPS-NN, they will ensure that you work for the state. "Stop Peevski's procedures for chief prosecutor and Cholakov's game for the Supreme Court, and choose a quality composition of the SJC. If you understand this, then you will also understand the government, and you don't want to steal", said Velislav Velichkov.
According to him, the crisis has covered all authorities:
"The executive can easily be added with the strange role of the Ministry of the Interior in these elections and the absolute carelessness with which the acting prime minister accepted the criticism and signals with the prepared bought and controlled vote and gave an almost positive assessment of the Ministry of the Interior after the elections. So all three powers are in crisis. But it is most dangerous in the judiciary, not only because justice is the basis of every state, and as Prof. Zhivko Stalev says - "where there is no independent justice, we have an organized criminal group", but because a criminal group – a political group led by a certain political leader bids for total control - a big bingo throughout the judiciary, through the posts of Attorney General and President of the Supreme Court. One procedure was opened for the SJC last month, and the other for the Prosecutor General was resumed, and the other for the Prosecutor General was resumed after it was opened in June 2023 and suspended pending the ruling of the Constitutional Court on the appeals of the former Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev. , commented Velichkov.
And added:
"Where is the hard problem? The serious problem is that the management body - administrative and personnel of the judiciary, has expired mandate more than 2 years."
Velichkov pointed out that the chairman of the Supreme Administrative Court, Georgi Cholakov, has no right to another term, "but he has arranged a procedure to become a temporary executive, although not one of the "big three" he has no right to stay a day longer after his term".
"Cholakov has no further mandate, apparently there are agreements to become a Constitutional judge, to ensure that 17 votes are not collected for his election and he, like Sarafov, remains the chairman of the Supreme Court without a mandate," said Velichkov.
He also pointed out what needs to be done to get out of the crisis.
"We are calling the protest with the demand that the parliament terminate these two procedures and open a procedure for the parliament quota for the SJC. First of all, we, as lawyers and constitutionalists, and an organization cannot support calls to boycott the parliament and MPs to take to the streets. This will compromise the parliamentary republic. We do not support total cashing of elections. If new elections are held now, we will go in 2 months with the same cabinet and the same Minister of the Interior, the same CEC and the same money to buy votes, but without an alternative. Then will they ask for cashing again?", he explained.
And he is adamant that "there should be a new parliament, it should be constituted, presidents should be elected and then talks about a government should begin.
"But before voting for a government, close the procedures for the chief prosecutor and open for the chairman of the KPCONPI and regulators. Whether there will be agreement depends on whether there will also be agreement for a government, but not of the minority, but with a short-term program and to complete the adoption of the laws on PVU, to start the judicial reform. And then, if necessary, new elections, but with a stabilized state," suggests the leader of "Justice for Everyone".
