The Union of Judges in Bulgaria has issued a position in connection with the detention and court order for the arrest of the mayor of Varna, Blagomir Kotsev. This was indicated by the Bulgarian National Radio.
They call on "representatives of other authorities to respect the independence of the judiciary and not to further undermine the low public trust in it".
"We call on the participants in the public debate to refrain from unjustified infringement of the personal dignity of judges criticized for their decisions," the lawyers insist.
