You should not it is easy to give up the measure of confiscating cars from drivers who have consumed alcohol or drugs, because it works. The rights of the perpetrators were raised on a pedestal. The victims suffered doubly - from the crime and from the law. We must take such measures that this does not happen again. Anyone who has drunk themselves into oblivion should know that if caught, an effective sentence will follow.

This is what I.F. chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov during a round table "The fight against drunk driving and the confiscation of vehicles." Effective measures against drunk driving and legal sanctions and consequences. The organizers of the forum are the European Center for Transport Policies and the "Angels on the Road" association. Sarafov added that prosecutors should plead intent in a crash after the use of alcohol and drugs. We hope for an understanding from the court, said I.F. attorney general.

Sarafov addressed the parents of children who died in accidents and assured them that they have his personal commitment and that of the prosecutor's office. You have our full support, he said. Each of us is a participant in road traffic. There is much to be done, pointed out I.F. attorney general.

Public debate is being profane and what is important to society is not being talked about. There is no talk of judicial reform, there is talk of personal attacks, said Sarafov. I will seek disciplinary action against any prosecutor who neglects his professional duties.

Sarafov recalled his idea that in order to solve the problem with expertise, it is good to have a special bureau at the Ministry of Justice. We need a reform of the judicial system, said Sarafov. Replacing one chief prosecutor with another is not judicial reform, he commented. Sarafov added that there is an idea according to which permission can be given for the use of traffic data to identify the perpetrator of an accident or an accomplice.

It has recently become fashionable to attack the prosecution, even personally. We currently do not have a general legality oversight authority. Declaring the disempowerment of the prosecutor's office and the chief prosecutor is not a success, Sarafov pointed out. According to him, it has become fashionable to drive at excessive speed, to be photographed and broadcast on the Internet. Therefore, we must do everything possible that society requires of us, added Borislav Sarafov.
