The Supreme Court of Justice today had a conjunctural reaction after deciding not to listen to Sarafov and will wait for the changes in the Judiciary Act to come into force. There is no denying that things have changed in Bulgaria. Although very little and insufficient. Before, no one dared even say the name of the Prosecutor General, let alone criticize him, and now we calmly talk about the shortcomings in the administration, in the political system. The PP-DB boast that they are achieving huge victories. No. Today we have a stage victory. This is a battle won, but the dependencies in the judicial system continue to exist. I don't see why part of the PP-DB congratulates itself that this is their achievement. Everything that happened on the political terrain is done reluctantly and is only due to civil pressure. So PP-DB has no reason to congratulate themselves on a victory. The truth is that there is none. This was announced to Lili Marinkova in the studio “FACTI“ and the program “Conversation“ by lawyer Metodi Lalov.
“The fact that Sarafov was suspended by this SJC is a small thing. I don't know if these people don't remember or don't let them remember what to do. Why is this SJC, after it has been compromised, after its mandate has expired and cannot appoint the Prosecutor General, but it is OK to appoint the President of the Sofia City Court. The backstage has its officers in high positions throughout the judicial system. These are hundreds of district courts, dozens of district courts, appellate courts. There is no change in them. And now this SJC will appoint a President of the Sofia City Court, which allows the most use of the SJC against magistrates, against deputies. They will put a person there who remained the only candidate. This is Russi Alexiev, after Alexei Trifonov withdrew. Russi Alexiev - a prosecutor who very quickly became a judge under Tsatsarov, eight months later became deputy chairman of the court, precisely under Trifonov. They built his career quickly. Tomorrow we will have a career prosecutor with a rather controversial reputation, who will become chairman of the city court. And all this from this compromised SCC,“ the guest added.
