The Constitutional Court (CS) cannot play like Natalia Kiselova, but it can issue a decision of nullity. There is an overwhelming majority of MPs that the issue of a national referendum on the introduction of the euro is inadmissible and unconstitutional. This was stated by the former acting Minister of Justice and until recently the President's advisor on legal issues Krum Zarkov to Nova Television.
He explained that it was a logical action for President Rumen Radev to refer the national referendum on the introduction of the euro to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court must decide whether it is even permissible to rule on the issues of the head of state, the former acting Minister of Justice pointed out.
"There is no doubt that such a referendum cannot and will not be held", commented Zarkov and insisted on understanding where the desire for a referendum comes from.
According to him, there is currently a government that controls all authorities - parliamentary, judicial and local. Now, after this referendum, they can govern even more calmly, Krum Zarkov believes. "Behind the referendums lies something else and people say: we are not satisfied with the decisions you make, but also with the way you make them. We think you are driving us crazy, but the bad thing is that referendums are a false medicine and the state will not be able to save itself through them alone," Krum Zarkov commented.
According to him, the president is not deliberately consolidating power, but has done so in practice through the euro referendum. "The president made a political mistake, because what will happen in the coming days is an artificial and deliberate buildup of tension in order to mount a protest readiness, to create a sense of civil disobedience and serious problems, but precisely those against which it is directed - the status quo will easily be able to control the situation. In parliament, the majority has grown from a minority government to a constitutional majority," Krum Zarkov pointed out.
Zarkov specified that the expectation that President Rumen Radev will form a party is completely valid, but whether he will realize it, when and how - there is no information. "What the head of state has done could lead him into a trap that will distance him from society and the people", warned Krum Zarkov.
He stated that from now on, Delyan Peevski's shadow will loom over the ruling majority and when filling in for regulators whose mandates have expired.
